Surely during a conversation with your colleagues; You have had a discussion about biodiesel and what it is. You have probably also wondered what it is made of and how it is produced. What if you can actually use it in the car you drive?
Biodiesel has been manufactured for quite a few years. A lot of research has been done and a lot of trial and error has gone into doing it. Due to the decrease in the resources we use on a daily basis, namely gasoline and diesel, we have had to look for other sources of fuel. Not to mention the high costs of gasoline and diesel today.
How are we supposed to continue if fuel costs continue to rise?
I remember in the past when it only took R300 to fill my gas tank, now it’s double that and it barely lasts me two weeks. So it’s a great relief that biodiesel has advanced to the point where we can use it in our own cars and trucks. Remember, though, that it’s biodiesel, so you can only use it in a diesel-powered vehicle; be it a car or a truck. However, it will work just as well in your truck as conventional diesel.
Biodiesel is made from used sunflower oil. Many restaurants and cafes use bulk sunflower oil. They could use hundreds of liters of this sunflower oil in a day. So getting rid of it is a mission for these restaurants. They are legally required to dispose of it in an ethical and healthy manner. Biodiesel producers have identified this market and thus turned this used sunflower oil waste into a valuable resource.
Biodiesel producers collect used sunflower oil from various restaurants and take it to their factory where they convert the oil into a usable fuel resource that you can use in your truck. This is a great resource for trucking fleet owners. You can buy biodiesel in bulk at a low cost and fuel your trucking fleet for a long time.
So now you have a better idea of what biodiesel is and what it is made of. You can easily use it on your diesel powered truck and save a lot of money while doing it. Be sure to buy in bulk so you have enough biodiesel. This is also a great way to save, as you can maintain inventory while negotiating better rates for larger quantities.
