1 BioComm Biodiesel B-20 Laboratory certified, biodegradable, renewable, clean burning alternative fuel About BioComm Biodiesel B-20 BioComm Biodiesel B-20 is an alternative fuel created by blending diesel (refined from crude) with a biofuel produced from agricultural products such as canola/rapeseed, soybeans, mustard seeds or camelina. BioComm Biodiesel B-20 is produced using Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel and Biodiesel produced from vegetable base stocks grown in Canada. BioComm Biodiesel B-20 is a FORD Motor Company laboratory tested and approved alternative fuel source. BioComm Biodiesel B-20 has received the FORD Tox Number BioComm Biodiesel B-20 represents an excellent balance between cost savings, emissions, cold weather performance, materials compatibility, cleaning effects and respect for the environment. Biodiesel B-20 may be treated and used exactly like traditional diesel fuel in most conditions. Every 5 gallons of Biodiesel B-20 used in vehicles replaces 0.75 gallons of crude oil. Biodiesel B-20 can reduce the total hydrocarbon emission by up to 30%, the Carbon Monoxide up to 20% and the total particulate matter up to 15%. Biodiesel B-20 has been extensively tested by government agencies, universities, transit authorities and private industry in the USA, Canada, Mexico and Europe. It is recognized as an alternative fuel by the Department of Energy and the Environment. Applications BioComm Biodiesel B-20 is best suited for: Laboratory research environments On and off-road vehicles Marine applications Railway applications Available Packaging These products are available in pails (19L/5 US Gal), drums (208L/55 US Gal), and bulk (1250L/330 US Gal) containers. Performance Benefits BioComm Biodiesel B-20 provides the following benefits: Cleans dirty engine deposits produced by conventional diesel fuels Thermally stable can be used in multiple weather conditions Reduces harmful exhaust emissions (unburned hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide and particulate) Clean burning Renewable energy source More cost effective Greater ignition and combustion characteristics due to an increased Cetane Index No reported effect on fuel consumption Reduced release of Carbon Dioxide (one of the main greenhouse gasses) to the atmosphere Reduced black soot level Ultra low to no sulfur thus reducing the sulfur dioxide production which is considered to be one of the main precursors to ac id rain. Compatible with typical seals, gaskets and adhesives found in today s vehicles Increased lubricity over conventional diesel fuels thus reducing the engine wear 1

In case of contact, flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 20 minutes. Cold water may be used. Get medical attention should irritation persist. Remove any contaminated clothing. Wash with soap and water. Get medical attention should irritation persist. 3

4 Inhalation Ingestion Note to Physician SECTION 5: Fire Fighting Measures If inhaled, remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Get medical attention. Do not induce vomiting unless directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious patient. Should large amounts be swallowed, call a physician.
