About Biodiesel - Safety
Is biodiesel safe?
Transfering used cooking oil during first step of refining process
Yes! Biodiesel is made from cooking oils and alcohol, so if you spill it on the ground, it will quickly degrade in to natural organic residues. We don't recommend you drink it, however. After all, you probably wouldn't want to drink a cup of cooking oil, because it will "lubricate" your digestive tract. Biodiesel is as toxic as table salt, and safe to handle. Mechanics who use biodiesel notice that their hands don't crack and dry out the way they do with diesel fuel. Many people use biodiesel in marine environments to protect wildlife and hatcheries.
Biodiesel is SAFE. It will not burn unless heated to over 250 °F. Biodiesel is biodegradable. Accidental spills of Biodiesel will be decomposed by bacteria in the environment. Biodiesel is non-toxic, safe to handle and use.
