Bio-Diesel Fuel Information What is it?

Biodiesel works in the same way as normal diesel which you buy at the pump – in fact the diesel which you buy at the pump will probably have at least 5% biodiesel mixed in

Using biodiesel made from Waste Vegetable Oils is one of the greenest ways to power your diesel engines as you are using a fuel made from waste. Proper Oils refines 100% of the biodiesel produced from the Waste Vegetable Oil which we collect.

What are the benefits?

As Proper Oils refines the Used Oil into fuel locally, the carbon savings are maximised

How does it work?

To use biodiesel, you do NOT need to modify your vehicle – you use it as you would use normal diesel fuel.
