Hard-working diesel engines deserve a little appreciation. So treat yours to soy biodiesel. Its diesel fuel made from U.S. soybeans and developed with the help of soybean farmers and their checkoff. It works in any diesel engine, and since its produced domestically, more money goes back into local economies rather than overseas.
Better for your engine
You can make the change to soy biodiesel without any modifications to your diesel engine. In fact, the only change youre likely to see is less wear and tear. Because soy biodiesel has a higher fuel lubricity than petroleum diesel, things just run a bit more smoothly. Thats part of the reason that the American Trucking Associations and major manufacturers like Chrysler, Cummins, Detroit Diesel, General Motors, Volkswagen and Volvo endorse soy biodiesel blends. Try it. Your engine will thank you.

Soy biodiesel production is also better for the environment. Theres much more energy in a gallon of soy biodiesel than whats required to produce it. And growing things like soybeans take carbon out of the atmosphere to use for photosynthesis, helping to further curb global warming. Soy biodiesel is the only alternative fuel to fully pass the health effects testing requirements of the Clean Air Act. Less particulate matter a leading cause of asthma is released when burning soy biodiesel. And soy biodiesel exhaust also has 80 percent to 90 percent fewer cancer-causing compounds than petroleum diesel.Using soy biodiesel can really shrink your environmental footprint. In addition to decreasing exhaust levels of many greenhouse gases, its less toxic than table salt and biodegrades as quickly as sugar.
