Technician A says that a major disadvantage of using B100 biodiesel as a fuel on North American highways is its high pour point temperature. Technician B says that a disadvantage of using biodiesel cuts as fuels is faster fuel degradation than on equivalent 100% petroleum sourced diesel fuel. Who is correct?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both technicians are correct. B100 biodiesel has a higher pour point temperature, which can lead to issues in colder climates as it may gel at higher temperatures than petroleum diesel. Biodiesel also degrades faster than petroleum diesel, which can lead to storage and stability issues.
