Benefits include increased lubricity, reduction of harmful emissions and sustainability. Unintended consequences may arise, however, if the blend exceeds the labeled amount or OEM recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because of this, it is impossible to tell by observation how much biodiesel the fuel contains. The only way to verify biodiesel content is through laboratory analysis. Although the demand for this testing is high, at present, very few labs offer this service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
