Columbus Foods announces the addition of Organic oils to our product list

This certified organic Canola oil is expeller pressed and a non-genetically engineered oil. It is refined, bleached and deodorized and represents the oil of the future.  The oil’s viscosity is similar to soybean but thicker than corn or sunflower.  It is naturally winterized oil that remains clear under refrigeration.  The most important characteristic about this oil is the level of saturated fats (lowest among commercially important vegetable oils).

Biodiesel requires no engine modifications, just put it in the tank and drive. Incorporating biodiesel into a central fuel location for light and medium duty fleets may be easier than you think.

Today biodiesel is being used in trash haulers in San Jose, school buses in Arizona, and has been used in Europe for over twenty years.

Currently biodiesel is 10 to 15 cents more per gallon than diesel fuel. Changes in emission regulations and uncertainties in OPEC could change this very quickly.

Biodiesel has a sulfur content of ZERO, making it an easy environmental friend. It also is 11% oxygenated by weight, so it burns cleaner.

Pure biodiesel cuts particulate matter by 30%, carbon monoxide by 50% and hydrocarbon emissions by 93%.

As a blend called B20 (20% biodiesel, 80% diesel), it cuts emissions by 22%, 20% and 30% respectively. Only oxides of nitrogen (NOx) show an increase with pure (13%) and blended biodiesel (2%).

Table salt is more toxic than biodiesel. Its flashpoint is 300 deg. F. much higher than diesels 125 deg. F.
