Storage stability and corrosive character of palm biodiesel

Biodiesel is gaining global attraction as an alternative fuel because of its biodegradability and environmental-friendliness. It can be mixed with diesel fuels and used in diesel engines with no or slight modification. In Malaysia, palm oil is used as a feedstock for the production of biodiesel due...
