How do I use biodiesel?

One common question we get asked about biodiesel is, how do I get started with using biodiesel? Well, the answer is: you may already have been using biodiesel without even knowing it. The diesel fuel specification (ASTM D975) allows for biodiesel concentrations of up to 5% (B5) to be called diesel fuel, with no separate labeling required at the pump. Low-level biodiesel blends, such as B5, are ASTM approved for safe operation in any compression-ignition engine designed to be operated on petroleum diesel. This can include light-duty and heavy-duty diesel cars and trucks, tractors, boats, and electrical generators.
