| Biodiesel is a cleaner-burning diesel fuel, made from | | | | Commercial fleets such as ferries, recreational yachts, |
| 100% natural, 100% renewable vegetable | | | | sailboats, and motor boats |
| sources, its uses in today's society may surprise you. | | | | are all candidates for Biodiesel. For example Pacific |
| Below are nine ways Biodiesel is being used. Some | | | | Whale Foundation, located in Hawaii, use Biodiesel |
| of which you may never have realized.1) Biodiesel | | | | in their boats.7) Tax Incentive - The IRS is offering |
| Car Rental - Yes that's right. A Maui and Los Angeles | | | | tax incentives to anyone that produce and use |
| car rental rents cars that run on | | | | Biodiesel fuel. The |
| Biodiesel. These cars get between 400 and 800 | | | | US Government is working to reduce greenhouse |
| miles per tank! Not bad when consider the price of | | | | gas emissions by giving producers of Biodiesel fuel |
| gas | | | | government funds. The tax incentive works to help |
| these days.2) Home heating fuel - More people are | | | | tax paying customers by lowering the cost of the |

| their | | | | bill.8) Lubrication Additive - Because Biodiesel is a |

| Biodiesel (B20), which is a fuel made of 80 percent | | | | |
| traditional heating oil and 20 percent Biodiesel. Some | | | | injectors and other types of fuel pumps can rely on |
| people are getting their furnaces adapted to be able | | | | Biodiesel fuel for lubrication. With the right additives, |
