Biodiesel fuels most commonly available are really blends of biodiesel and petroleum diesel (B20, or 20% biodiesel, 80% petroleum diesel, for example). An American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard does exist for biodiesel (ASTM D6751). The intended audience for this publication is scientists and engineers interested in the technical aspects of biodiesel formulation and use. | | | | Date Created: | 03 22 2006 | | | | Agency ID: | WMRC TN06-085 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000000718 Original UID: 773 FIRST WORD: Biodiesel | |
