Case Construction Equipment approves B5 biodiesel in its engines

June 12 -- Case Construction Equipment Co. says it is the first construction equipment manufacturer to approve the use of B5 biodiesel fuel in all of its mechanical engines.

The Racine, Wis.-based company said operators can use B20 fuel in all Case engines other than electronic engines and those in the company´s model 410 and 420 skid steer loaders.

"We do not intend to stop at B5 and B20 in our quest to help customers reduce their operating costs," company President Jim McCullough said. "Case is committed to working with its partners to push toward higher-level biodiesel blends that will be compatible with future low-emissions-compliant engines."
