Description:
This oxidative stabilizer from Springboard Biodiesel is a fuel additive designed specifically for Biodiesel to help prevent
Biodiesel from oxidizing. When used properly, it will increase Biodiesel's resistance to
oxidation which can greatly extend the shelf life of the fuel. It's also been specially formulated
with additional additives to help eradicate microbial growth as well.
When used in conjuction with Biodiesel made from waste vegetable oil, it can greatly increase the
chances of the fuel passing the ASTM test for oxidative stability in the Biodiesel ASTM Standard (ASTM D4625).
Also Works With Vegetable Oil!
Because the oxidation process in Biodiesel is the exact same as vegetable oil (breaking down of the fatty acid chains),
the Springboard Oxidative Stabilizer will help preserve new and used vegetable oil as well!
In tests performed by Springboard Biodiesel, it was found that fuel treated with the oxidative stabilizer
performed significantly better in Rancimat testing, which is how Biodiesel is tested in the ASTM Standard
for oxidative stability.
Test Results
Springboard Biodiesel tested Biodiesel made from several different types of feedstock with the oxidative
stabilizer. They tested each sample before adding the stabilizer and then added 100 ppm of the product
and retested the results.

The results showed that in all cases the stabilizer increased the oxidative stability of the fuel.
They then tested two very different feedstocks (Beef Tallow & Canola WVO) both before and after
using the stabilizer, but in this case increased the dosage to see how it would effect the fuel's stability.

The results indicated that with higher dosages it's possible to drastically increase the oxidative
stability of the different feedstocks.
