If you run bio-diesel blends like B5 or B20, you may not know they are more prone to quality issues with respect to fuel breakdown. The majority of quality and performance issues experienced with biodiesel, provided it’s properly made and in-spec, can be traced back to oxidation and exposure to both air and water. Both of these environmental factors can accelerate biodiesel breakdown (since it is inherently less stable than pure diesel), and when this happens, you can a range of engine issues (deposit buildup in critical areas, loss of mileage and performance).
Bell Performance developed Bio Dee-Zol to give bio-diesel users a way to preserve the quality of their biodiesel blends. Preserving fuel quality protects both your financial investment (who likes paying $3+ per gallon for biodiesel?) and your vehicle that uses the fuel.
Bio Dee-Zol’s concentrated formula (1 gallon treats 500 gallons of biodiesel blend) stops the harmful chemical reactions that are initiated as the fuel gets exposed to air and water and other oxidizers. All fuel gets exposed to these factors at some point through the distribution and storage system.
In addition, Bio Dee-Zol controls the water which inevitably condenses and builds up in biodiesel storage tanks. Water buildup is harmful because it not only accelerates biodiesel breakdown but invites harmful microbes to grow and thrive in your tank. And when this happens, they’re nearly impossible to get rid of, short of using an additional biocide to kill them.
Adding Bio Dee-Zol to your biodiesel blend is the best way to preserve its quality and keep it in peak condition.
