The investigation and use of alternative fuels for automotive applications is increasing as governments researchers and consumers continue to seek environmentally friendly and sustainable alternatives to petroleum-derived fuels. There is a need to evaluate both the corrosivity of alternative fuels and the corrosion performance of materials intended for service in such environments in order to ensure the continued safety and performance of vehicles and infrastructure.

In the current work nine different steel systems were exposed to pure (B100) and blended (B20) soybean-derived biodiesels under simulated automobile operating conditions. The experimental set-up permitted the comparison of corrosion performance in the vapour and liquid phases and at the vapour-liquid interface. The corrosion performance of the steel systems was analyzed using mass loss and surface inspection methods and the chemical compositions of the biodiesels were analyzed and correlated with corrosion behaviour. The effect of biodiesel aging on the corrosion performance of the steel systems was also investigated using fresh and three-year-old biodiesel.
