French Fries Fuel





Whenever people go outside, they often get a face full of smoke. Passing vehicles pollute the air with black clouds and terrible smells. But soon, people will be able to enjoy a breath of fresh air. Driving us towards a friendiler world and cleaner enviroment is a new fuel called biodiesel.






Biodiesel is made from vegetable oil like soybeans and corn. In addition, oil from animal fat can be used. Recycled cooking oil from restaurants, like McDonald's, can also be used to make "fast food" fuel. Because of its ingredients, biodiesel is renewable and can be produced in your own country. The result is less stress over reducing crude oil supplies, and more business for local farmers.







Biodiesel can be used in any diesel-powered machine. No changes are necessary. Tractors, trucks, and buses can operate with it. Even better, biodiesel's natural ingredient cause it to burn cleanly. Fewer oil change and longer engine life result from using it.



But most importantly, it is environmentally friendly. Biodiesel produces little carbon dioxide and other harmful gases. Therefore, it's good for the air, slows global warming, and prevents acid rain. It may even give off a pleasant smell, like French fries!


Biodiesel is a new solution from an old idea. Over a century ago, Rudolf Dieseel invented the diesel engine to run on peanut oil. Unfortunately, his dreams were sunk when Diesel mysteriously drowned. Soon his ideas have now come back to life.



To get your engine running on biodiesel, a gradual switch from regular diesel is recommanded. Therefore, mixtures like B20 have been created to help engines adjust. B20 is 20% biodiesel and 80% petroleum diesel.


Leaders worldwide are cleaning up their cities with biodiesel. The U.S. military is the main consumer of B20. The government of France has ordered that all diesel engines use biodiesel. In 2003, Berkeley, California started using biodiesel in 90 percent of its diesel vehicles. And the tailpipes of Taipei city's garbage trucks are also blowing clean biodiesel air!



With crude oil supplies in decline, and environmental issues increasing, new power sources are mapping out our future. Biodiesel is just one idea that is getting us back on the right track.

summary:

We have an new fuel called biodiesel. It is made from vegetable oil. We not only reduce the crude oil supplies but recycle it again. Most importantly, we can protect our environment from making pollution heavily. Many country do this fuel gradually. New power has an good effect on our life.

thinking:

People feel happy they have new fuel to use. Biodiesel's natural ingredient cause it to burn cleanly. Fewer oil changes the longer engine life result from using it. Biodiesel reduces harm to the environment because it is renewable and produces little carbon dioxide. Biodiesel burns cleanly and can be used in any diesel powered machine. People can't live without the new fuel called biodiesel. I concern about our earth so I want to read the article. It is really a good way to let our earth purified.
