Rationale
This new J document provides a general summary of the experience with biodiesel in the automotive industry where significant research has been conducted over 20 years. Recently, the railroad industry and the locomotive manufacturers have experienced similar concerns. The purpose of this document is to provide them and other practitioners dealing with biodiesel, with the knowledge and a tool to evaluate if additional research is warranted regarding their specific application. Engine performance, emissions, material compatibility, fuel storage, and long term effects are discussed. Users of any fuel including biodiesel blends should contact their engine manufacturer for advice regarding fuel/equipment compatibility.

* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
