Biofuel is a fuel that we can deliver to your special need vehicle for Buckley, Illinois and other cities

Biofuel

What exactly are biofuels? Biofuels are produced directly or indirectly from organic materials. These can include plant materials, animal waste, and waste from a variety of industries. In contrast, fossil fuels are made from geological processes and include coal, petroleum, and natural gas.

There are a variety of fuel types that fall under the biofuel family, including:

1) Ethanol: which comes from the fermentation of sugars found in wheat, corn, sugar cane, sugar beets, and molasses as well as any starch or sugar from which alcoholic beverages can be derived.

2) Biodiesel: produced from oils or fats from a variety of plants including soy, sunflower, and hemp. It is made by reacting lipids from vegetable oil, soybean oil, or animal fat, with an alcohol. Biodiesel can be use on its own or blended with regular diesel fuel. Biodiesel is also often used as a heating oil.

Diesel is one of the most popular fuels in the world - let us deliver your diesel call us today in Champaign County

Diesel

What is diesel fuel? Diesel fuel covers any liquid fuel used to power a diesel engine- where fuel ignition occurs without a spark. There are a variety of diesel fuels on the market including petrodiesel (derived from petroleum), biodiesel, biomass to liquid (BTL), and gas to liquid (GTL).

Standard diesel fuel is sold in two grades: Diesel #1 (or 1-D) and Diesel #2 (or 2-D). Diesel automakers call for Diesel #2 in normal driving conditions. Diesel #2 is less volatile and offers greater fuel economy so it is the standard for trucking.

However, diesel fuel becomes thicker and cloudier in cold weather. Extreme cold will cause it to become a gel and refuse to flow at all. Since diesel #1 flows more easily than Diesel #2, it’s more efficient in cold climates. Additionally, the two can be blended, so most service stations and fuel providers offer diesel fuel blended for your local conditions.

Kerosene products for all your delivery needs in Vermilion County, and Piatt County

Kerosene

Kerosene, like petrol and diesel is a byproduct of petroleum. It is similar to #1 Diesel and is used in diesel blends and as jet fuel. It is used in lamps, kerosene space heaters, and as a cooking fuel in many underdeveloped countries. Ultra-low sulfur kerosene is used in many cities as a custom blended fuel to power their buses.

 Kerosene can also be used as a solvent and as a lubricant. It has also been used as pesticide. 

 Kerosene is often added to diesel fuels in winter to lower the cloud point —the temperature that the wax in diesel fuel starts to solidify.

On Road and Off Road diesel - we can bring it right to you

On Road vs Off-Road Diesel

On road diesel is always clear, meaning it doesn’t have any colored dye and is subject to motor fuel taxes.  On road diesel can be Diesel #1 (for extreme cold conditions) Diesel #2 (standard for most conditions), or blended. Diesel #1 has less wax for winterization, while Diesel #2 has more wax for lubricating the engine. On road (or highway diesel as it is sometimes referred) is more expensive due to the highway taxes that are applied to it.

Off-road diesel is dyed (usually red). Both Diesel #1 and Diesel #2 can be sold as off-road (dyed). Off-road diesel is cheaper because there are no highway taxes associated with it. It is typically used with farm equipment and heavy machinery.

Propylene Glycol is known as a non-toxic antifreeze and it can help you keep your engine cool while you stay fueled up in the fields

Propylene Glycol

Propylene Glycol is often refereed to as non-toxic antifreeze. It is used as an antifreeze/coolant in commercial and domestic applications when the use of traditional antifreeze is inappropriate —such as food processing systems, or home uses where incidental ingestion could be possible. Small amounts are even added to a variety of products from ice cream to E-cigarettes.

Propylene Glycol is used as an engine coolant (often in aluminum engines) because of its low toxicity, low flammability, low freezing point, and high boiling point. It makes a great solution for protecting against bursts in pipe and containment systems.

Diesel Exhaust Fluid

Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) is a solution sprayed into the exhaust stream of diesel vehicles to convert NOx emissions into water and nitrogen. The solution is comprised of 32.5% urea and 67.5% de-ionized water. The process is called Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and is found in vehicles from 2010 and later. DEF does not come in contact with diesel, meaning it is not a fuel additive. It is stored in a separate tank, commonly found with a blue filler cap.
