What are the disadvantages of biodiesel?

haithem5000 asked:


To me, it seems that biodiesel is a great solution to petrol. It’s clean, cheaper than petroldiesel, and completely renewable. And to make things even better, if we used algae grown in marginal lands (desert), 0.3% of the surface of America could supply our energy needs.

So, it seems too good to be true. What are the inconveniences to a pure biodiesel or a biodiesel-electric hybrid solution?

How do I decrease the viscosity of biodiesel?

Zeuski asked:


I need to decrease the viscosity of B-99.9 biodiesel with common alcohols/surfactants. I’ve tried isopropyl rubbing alcohol, and it works well. Everything else, however has too high of a water content to mix with the fuel.

Why does everyone forget that electric cars use just as much fossil fuel as a conventional car?

thomas b asked:


I have seen a lot of questions on here or in the news about electric and hybrid cars. It’s all well and good to want to find a way to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, but that cannt be accomplished without finding an completely new fuel source or vitalising something that already exists, like ethanol or boidiesel for vehicles. electric cars either need fossil fuel in their tank or if its a plug in it uses the fossil fuels by proxy that the local electric company is using. There really aren’t too many areas in the US that are using wind or hydro-electric plants. Most power plants in the US are coal powered I think.
