Product Development
We’ve been perfecting our product and quality for years, and are happy to say it is the most cost effective and carbon reducing diesel biofuel available.
Product Development Details
The development of Sunshine Renewable Diesel’s business concept, formulation, refinery, and the alternative fuel conversion systems that allow its use in high speed diesels has evolved out of more than 20 years of research and development by unique and innovative thinkers in Germany, Western Europe, Indo-China, South America, and the United States. Much respect and credit should be given to these forward thinkers and institutions who provided the ground work for our team to innovate this fuel that can effect some many positively. Sunshine Biofuels team has spent the last 7 years and significant capital dollars in the development of and patent protection of these concepts into a practical, profitable, economical, product and business model. This model benefits both the suppliers, end fuel users, and our investors to a greater extent than any other biofuel solution on the market today. Our Sunshine Renewable Diesel Product is a proprietary product, as is the processing equipment we have designed, and the process we use to make it. In addition, Sunshine Biofuels Alternative Fuel Conversion technology also holds multiple patents and is available exclusively from Sunshine Biofuels.
It’s Easy to Get Started
We can get you up and running with this alternative fuel in just weeks. You can have fuel delivered and be saving money promptly.
Sunshine Renewable Diesel with Low and Medium Speed Diesel Engines:
For low and medium speed diesel engines, Sunshine Renewable Diesel can be used as a “drop in” extremely low sulfur replacement fuel. Low and Medium speed engines are defined by operation speed and run between 100 and 900 maximum RPM. These engines are usually large and found in locomotives, power plants of 1MW or greater, medium to large scale ships, and industrial plants.
Sunshine Renewable Diesel with High Speed Diesel Engines:
For High speed diesel engines with operating speeds exceeding 1,000 RPM, a simple dual fuel system is used to allow the engine to start on diesel fuel then switch over when warm to Sunshine Renewable Diesel Fuel 100%. The engine in the boat, tractor, truck, or generator will operate on Sunshine Renewable Diesel while it is working then when shut down will switch back to diesel fuel when not in operation. This entire process is controlled by the Automated Fuel Controller (AFC) which is installed before fueling. The only difference to the operator is remembering which tank to fill with the Sunshine Renewable Diesel and where the Diesel fill is since it may be months in between use!
Storage
Sunshine Renewable Diesel is less risky, less hassle, and cheaper than diesel to store on your site! Because our fuel is vegetable oil based, does not use dangerous chemicals in its manufacture, and is less combustible than petroleum Diesel it does not need to be treated as a hazardous material. Spills can be cleaned up with typical absorbent materials and discarded without concern for ground contamination or EPA notification. Containers should be double walled but can be plastic with aluminum reinforcement as with simple 275 IBC liquid cube containers. Pumps, fuel line, and meters do not need to be class I Div I certified making them available at a fraction of the cost of existing equipment for diesel. Sunshine Renewable Diesel can basically be stored with the same precautions as new vegetable oil. This dramatically lowers the risk profile, hassle, and expense for companies storing large volumes of petroleum diesel fuel on their property, close to the water, or having to maintain handling equipment that is expensive and replaced frequently.
Delivery
Sunshine Renewable Delivery is available for delivery to any marina or private residence with an advance appointment. Because of the non hazardous nature of the fuel, it can be delivered to small inexpensive containers and stored alongside your home and in less than tanker load quantities. Want to fuel your sport fish with our fuel, no problem we can deliver 200 – 2000 gallons to your home or business location. Have a large vessel that requires multiple tankers to fuel, no problem we can supply multiple tankers to fuel larger vessels before they embark on large voyages. The more you use the more you save.
Take a second to think
….about having a generator that runs on cost effective alternative fuel. Also, the feeling you will get being energy independent and knowing whatever the price of diesel is, your’re operating well below it.
It’s Safe, We are Serious about Quality and Dependability
Sunshine Renewable Diesel is tested and certified by Inspectorate one of the largest petroleum testing lab companies in the world. We are also partnered with Fuch’s Motor oils for distribution of our recommended PLANTOMOT plant oil based motor oil and motor oil testing services to monitor fuel performance. Sunshine Renewable can ship to customers all over the globe we export our fuel.

- Save the Environment: Sunshine Renewable Diesel has significant environmental benefits. Since it is not toxic, the fuel handling is safer, the storage is safer, and the emissions are lower across the board. In addition it can reduce carbon emissions up to 50% lower than Biodiesel or up to 98% lower than diesel fuel.
- Save your economy: Sunshine renewable Diesel is made in your local community by local workers, paying local restaurants more per gallon, and saving local fleet businesses more per gallon. By supporting Sunshine Biofuels you are supporting your communities economic development.

"We started researching this fuel after customers were complaining about our fuel surcharge. We thought there must be a better way. We converted our vehicles over to run Sunshine Renewable Diesel and got a return within 10 weeks. Each of our trucks burns about 3-400 gallons per week...it's been a great benefit to us."

“I probably burned several thousand gallons of fuel before I sold it (the boat) and had no problems. Besides a few friends harassing me on the VHF about the French fry/fried chicken smell it was all good with no notable power difference at all. I really didn`t have to change the filters as often as I thought, overall very satisfied. Anyone should consider as long as they can get the fuel, it’s a no brainer.

“As the owner of Ripple Effect Ecotours, which is located in one of the most unspoiled and sensitive coastal habitats in Florida, I spent an entire year researching different opportunities that would allow for us to burn an alternative fuel in our new tour boat. Michael Lokey, the owner of Green My Fleet, is the spark that made it possible for a sustainable and dependable commercial operation to succeed in this unconventional endeavor; his knowledge, experience, resourcefulness, and passion are essential for success in the alternative fuel markets and require an unwavering commitment to excellence.”
