What is the difference between biodiesel and SVO/WVO?
Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil. It’s thinner than vegetable oil, but still slightly thicker than petroleum diesel. SVO is pure vegetable oil, filtered but otherwise unmodified. Because the conversion kit with the two tanks is designed to heat the vegetable oil, you can still run your car on SVO throughout the Winter. You just need to wait longer for it to become hot enough. On the other hand, you can put biodiesel straight into any diesel engine without modication to the vehicle, in different percentages depending on outside temperatures. In warm summer weather, you can use up to 50% biodiesel (also known as B50) without knowing anything more about the car (see question number 8 below). In cold winter weather, you can safely use up to 20% biodiesel (also known as B20). In colder weather, as in below 15 degrees farenheit, biodiesel becomes even more viscous than petroleum diesel and can gel inside the engine, causing major damage. In these colder temperatures it is best to use les
