Watch: Is biodiesel a good fuel choice for diesel engines?

Watch: Is biodiesel a good fuel choice for diesel engines?

These days, it seems as though there’s always a shifty stranger – The Invisible Fuel Man – whispering in my ear: “Hey Fleetkeeper. Let’s talk about electrification today.” I guess it makes sense – some of the biggest names in trucking are making some huge advancements in electric trucks. But what about all the other fuel options? What about biodiesel?

Despite all the talk of electrification, chances are that the diesel engine will remain on top for years to come. So today I look into the eyes of this foul fuel man and declare: We shall speak of biofuel today!

The Invisible Fuel Man isn’t the only monster out there haunting fleets. Watch these videos of On the Road to get the Fleetkeeper’s tips on staving off the Winter Tire Werewolf, the Oil Expiration Executioner and the Service Memo Mummy.
