How to Transition to Biodiesel
On a vehicle
- Ensure that the fuel tank is clean
- Ensure that your fuel lines are post 1994 or that they are replaced with viton or teflon
- Start using it just prior to a scheduled fuel filter change
Over a fleet
- Appoint a "go-to" person or project manager
- Ensure the parties in the logistics chain are either BQ-9000 qualified or compliant
- Ensure that the fuel is kept free of dirt, water, and other contaminants in the logistics chain
- Clean your storage tank using a fuel polishing service and ensure the sides of the tank are clean too
- Transition the vehicles properly (see above)
- Communicate with the supplier on a regular basis
