• Noticeable improvement regarding a cleaner stern with    BioDiesel.    • BioDiesel will not harm fish. The test results show that    the level of methyl esters (biodiesel) concentrations during    the 96-hr LC50 (lethal concentration) for Bluegills was    "insignificant". (National BioDiesel Board ) Table salt is virtually     more toxic.  • BioDiesel is Biodegradable. In a specific 28-day study     conducted by the University of Idaho, biodiesel degraded     95% in a water solution while petroleum diesel degraded     only 40%.
