Description

Gas oils containing biodiesel are a type of liquid fuel that can be used in diesel engines. They are made by blending petroleum-based gas oils with biodiesel, which is a renewable fuel derived from vegetable oils or animal fats. Biodiesel can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality when used as a substitute for fossil fuels.

Main uses

Gas oils containing biodiesel are mainly used for transportation, especially for heavy-duty vehicles such as trucks, buses, and trains. They can also be used for heating, power generation, and industrial purposes. Gas oils containing biodiesel have similar performance and compatibility characteristics as conventional diesel, but they may require some modifications to the engine and fuel system to avoid potential issues such as clogging, corrosion, or oxidation.
