Pesach Alert: Diesel may contain chometz

Do you drive a diesel car?

Due to Carbon Friendly Fuel policies of 2008, it has recently come to our attention that 30% of the composition of Diesel is BioFuel made from
cellulosic material. While this is often maize, sometimes waste products from wheat production is used as a feedstock for biodiesel production.

While this is not a problem for ownership on Pesach as it is inedible, the issue of Hanna'ah - benefitting from Chometz is a major problem.

Therefore if one owns a diesel car, one should refrain from driving it over Pesach. For further information about what to do in an emergency one's halachic authority should be consulted.
