Biodiesel reduces harm to fish and humans:

Biodiesel is considered non-toxic, as printed in NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Guidelines in its Registry of the Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances.

Vessel operators and engine workers report a noticeable change in exhaust odor. Biodiesel users also report having no eye irritation compared with petroleum diesel fumes.

Biodiesel is biodegradable:

Biodiesel is 10 times less toxic than table salt and more biodegradable than sugar. According to a 1995 University of Idaho test, Biodiesel (even Biodiesel blends) accelerate the biodegradability of petroleum No. 2 diesel. For example a 20% Biodiesel blend degrades twice as fast as No. 2 diesel.

Biodiesel is "user-friendly":

The use of Biodiesel and Biodiesel blends results in a noticeable change in exhaust odor. The reduction in smell and change of odor are easier on ship workers and pleasure craft boaters. In fact, it's been compared to the smell of French fries. Users also report having no eye irritation. Since Biodiesel is oxygenated, diesel engines have more complete combustion than with petroleum.

Biodiesel is a safe alternative:

The flash point (the point at which fuel ignites) for Biodiesel (B100) is a minimum of 300 degrees versus about 125 degrees Fahrenheit for regular petroleum diesel #2. These factors make Biodiesel one of the safest fuels to use, handle and store. It is even less irritating to skin than a 4% soap and water solution.

Biodiesel has higher lubricity:

Biodiesel blended at a 20 percent rate with petroleum diesel has a lower wear scar than traditional fuel. At the 20 percent blend level, Biodiesel shows improved lubricity. Start-up, power, range and cold-weather performance characteristics are similar to diesel.

Biodiesel is the perfect fuel additive:

Biodiesel's high lubricity effectively compensates for the lack of fuel-related lubrication in the new Ultra Low-Sulfur and CARB petroleum diesel fuels. Moreover, the higher levels of cetane will help reduce engine knocking and provide for smoother engine performance.
