(B6–B20) will result in premature engine wear. Such wear

is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.

Biodiesel is a fuel produced from renewable resources

typically derived from animal fat, rapeseed oil (Rapeseed

Methyl Ester (RME) base), or soybean oil (Soy Methyl

Ester (SME or SOME) base). Biodiesel fuel has inherent

limitations which require that you understand and ad-

here to the following requirements if you use blends of

Biodiesel greater than 5% but not greater than 20%

(B6-B20). There are no unique restrictions for the use of

B5. Use of blends greater than 20% is not approved. Use

of blends greater than 20% can result in engine damage.

Such damage is not covered by the New Vehicle Limited

Warranty

Biodiesel Fuel Properties – Low Ambient

Temperatures

Biodiesel fuel may gel or solidify at low ambient tem-

peratures, which may pose problems for both storage and

operation. Precautions can be necessary at low ambient

temperatures, such as storing the fuel in a heated build-

ing or a heated storage tank, or using cold temperature

additives.

Fuel Quality – Must Comply with ASTM

Standards

The quality of Biodiesel fuel may vary widely. Only fuel

produced by a BQ9000 supplier to the following specifi-

cations may be blended to meet Biodiesel blend B6 - B20

fuel meeting ASTM specification D-7467:

• Petrodiesel fuel meeting ASTM specification D-975

and Biodiesel fuel (B100) meeting ASTM specification

D-6751
