Hi Frank Yes. Biodiesel is 11% oxygen by weight and contains no sulfur. http://www.biodiesel.org/fuelfactsheet.htm fuelfactsheet NBB Also, you can use ULSD in any diesel engine if you add a little biodiesel for the lubrication. "Adding one percent biodiesel improves the lubricity up to 65 percent" (executive director of the NBB Joe Jobe). See Biodiesel Development Corporation -- Biodiesel: Cost Effective Lubricity Enhancer: http://pipeline.to/biodiesel/ The French add 2%-5% - mostly 5% - for this reason.
