What is B10?
10% Palm Oil
Biodiesel
90% Diesel
Implement start
Feb 1, 2019
All types of diesel vehicle in transportation
sector ( 4 wheels drives, lorries, buses)
Diesel Euro 2M B7 -> B10
Diesel Euro 5M = B7
Benefits
 Reduced emissions of particulate matter,
unburnt hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide.
 Increased fuel lubricity
 Higher Cetane Number
 Stabilize CPO price
 Increase income for farmers
Challenges
 Fuel Dilution – Biodiesel mixes with Engine Oil
 Engine oil viscosity change, higher rate of wears and oxidation
Challenges
 Can cause greater corrosion in several types of metals
 May absorb water and become contaminated (Hydroscopic)
 Seals compatibility, degradation
Challenges
 Tend to coagulate/gelling at low temp
Challenges
 Filter blockage, Injector & piston deposits
Brand
Statement
Hino confirmed that all its vehicles, including buses, are compliant
for B10 without changes to any component or service interval
Fuso highlighted that it is B10 compatible in its promotion
Isuzu light & medium duty lorries will compatible with B10 after
hoses change (Not pickups or older model, which cannot use B10)
All Scania vehicles sold by Scania (Malaysia) can run in B10
Toyota, Nissan and Mitsubishi engines can run only if B10 fuel
properties meet JAMA’s requirements
