Specification For BIODIESEL (B100) - ASTM D6751-09: Property ASTM Method Limits Units

This document outlines the specifications for pure biodiesel (B100) according to the ASTM D6751-09 standard. It defines biodiesel as mono alkyl esters made from vegetable oils or animal fats, intended for use in diesel engines. The specifications include limits for various fuel properties like calcium and magnesium content, flash point, water and sediment content, viscosity, sulfur content, and distillation range. It also notes that while B100 can be used, blends of 20% biodiesel (B20) are more common in the US based on existing experience.

BOLD = BQ-9000 Critical Specification Testing Once Production Process Under Control * The carbon residue shall be run on the 100% sample. # A considerable amount of experience exists in the US with a 20% blend of biodiesel with 80% diesel fuel (B20). Although biodiesel (B100) can be used, blends of over 20% biodiesel with diesel fuel should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis until further experience is available.
