Biodiesel is an eco-friendly fuel produced from domestic renewable resources. It's simple to make and use, non-toxic, biodegradable, and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics; unlike the extremely dirty and polluting petroleum-based diesel fuel commonly used today by cars , trucks, trains, ships, planes, industrial equipment and military machines. With minor modifications, diesel engines (known as "compression-ignition" engines) can run solely on biodiesel or be blended at any level with petroleum-based diesel fuel. Diesel engines using biodiesel run more smoothly and quietly, last longer, and stay vastly cleaner than engines using petroleum-based diesel fuel. In addition, with greater modifications to the diesel engine that cost between $500 and $2000, pure unadulterated Straight Vegetable Oil (SVO) can be poured directly into the fuel tank with no loss of performance. SVO can be obtained and used FREE OF CHARGE at this time, a truly revolutionary act.

Burning biodiesel instead of petroleum will reduce the negative impact of global warming and toxic pollution to air, water, soil, and all living beings. This is because biodiesel fuel is produced and burned within a "closed carbon cycle"; the lesser amount of CO2 released when biodiesel is burned (as opposed to petroleum) is consumed by living plants to aid their natural growth. In 1998 a biodiesel lifecycle study was sponsored jointly by the USA Departments of Energy and Agriculture; they concluded that the use of biodiesel reduces net CO2 emissions by 78-percent as compared to petroleum diesel.
