Glover Oil Company Inc. is East Central Florida’s largest distributor of petroleum products. As early as 2004 Glover Oil Company recognized the need for renewable fuel alternatives and was instrumental in introducing biodiesel to Florida as an innovative approach to improving the environment and reducing dependence on foreign oil.

Biodiesel is a renewable source of fuel made from vegetable oils and fats that include soy bean and palm oils, and animal fats such as poultry and beef tallow. Biodiesel can be mixed effectively with conventional petroleum diesel at blends from 5%, B-5 to 99%, B-99 with little or no engine modifications. Diesel engine manufacturers such as Arctic Cat, Caterpillar, Cummins, John Deere, New Holland and others approve biodiesel for use in their engines.

Biodiesel 101:

Technically speaking, biodiesel is mono-alkyl esters of long chain fatty acids derived from vegetable oils or animal fats which conform to ASTM D6751 specifications for use in diesel engines. Biodiesel is not pure vegetable oil.

Biodiesel is made through a process called transesterification in which glycerins are separated from the vegetable oil or fat, leaving the methyl-esters, or biodiesel. The glycerins are utilized to make commonly used products such as shampoo, soaps and cosmetics. Vegetable oils and animal fats are referred to as feedstocks and include soybeans, corn, canola, cottonseed, palm oil and animal fats such as beef tallow and poultry fats. Used cooking oils can also be used to make biodiesel.

Biodiesel Benefits:

• It is a renewable resource.
• It reduces greenhouse gas emissions
• It is safer to transport and handle as compared to conventional petroleum products
• It adds lubricity that compensates for the reduced sulfur content of ultra low sulfur diesel
• It cleans your engine and can extend oil service life
