Fuel lubricity

[Vais01]

Sorry if this is not the place to post this but I have found a chart with the latest fuel HFRR values with the addition of bio fuel.

Since most fuel stations will have between 2% and 5% biodiesel I thought this would be great info for us VP44 powered trucks.

I am having difficulty posting the chart if someone can help I will get it up asap.

Send us a link to the chart.  We would love to have that info.

It's from a huge PDF.

I honestly don't remember how I found the PDF either. It was from a government page.

Absolutely. I would love to add more to the site.

 

Just remember the Biodiesel is higher in cetane so it lower in BTU's so typically there is a small loss to MPG while using Biodiesel fuels.

Mike how do I post a picture. I'm having a bad tech day lol.

Mike apparently 2%-20% only adds between .2 to 1.2 points in cetane values. That I don't have the chart for but I do remember the values. As far as BTU heat valve in 2%-5% biodiesel blends the BTU of heat only drops about about 2% if I remember correctly. It's a very small change.

As for the cetane chart.

 

Demo using local values. (Winter and summer)

Maybe it won't work because I'm using my cell phone.

.

[Mopar1973Man]

Oh I'm curious of how many make the grade to Bosch standards.

[Vais01]

I sent the chart to.


Now the values are are for no biodiesel, 2%, 5% and 20%.

[Vais01]

Also the US standard for cetane values within diesel fuel is 40. With 20% blend cetane jumps up to a whopping 41.

[Me78569]

got it.

[Me78569]

 

are the markers at %0 ,%2, and %20?

[Vais01]

Thank you very much me78569.

[Vais01]

Yes the markers are 0%, 2%, 5% and 20%.

[Vais01]

I have the entire PDF also if you would like it let me know with your email address and I will attempt to forward it.

how big is it?  Couple ways to transfer, but that depends on the size.
