Biodiesel is produced from raw vegetable oil or animal fat and methanol. It is chemically distinct from petroleum diesel and bears quality risks, depending on feedstock (fuel ageing, cold flow), given physical properties (fuel evaporation), and accuracy of production process (contamination). Therefore, the use of biodiesel can have technical implications upon the operation of the engine/fuel system.
