Biodiesel

When you buy a used vehicle, you may choose to buy a car with a diesel engine. These automobiles tend to last longer than their gasoline counterparts and usually get better gas mileage, too. The latest trend in diesel is the widespread use of biodiesel.

Most diesel vehicles can use biodiesel with little to no modification. If you or someone you know is currently in the market for a great diesel engine car at a reasonable price, contact one of the 11 Austin used car dealers of Chapman Motor Sales, or browse our combined online inventory today.

Benefits of Biodiesel

Biodiesel is made from used cooking oil that has undergone refinement. The end product contains no petroleum, so it burns cleaner than traditional diesel. Most diesel engines can run on biodiesel alone, but some individuals choose to use a diesel and biodiesel mix instead.

Some of the benefits of biodiesel include:

• Reduced carbon dioxide emissions
• Reduced carbon monoxide emissions
• A cleaner engine

Since biodiesel burns cleaner, it leaves your engine cleaner, too, which may help reduce repair bills in the future. One consequence of switching to biodiesel is that the fuel will dissolve deposits left behind from regular diesel, which may clog filters initially.
