Abstract
Global amiual production of bioethanol exceeds 36,500 million liters and tliat of biodiesel
exceeds 3,524 million liters. Dining production, transportation and usage, biofiiels come
in contact witli vaiious materials (metals and non-metals). Therefore it is important to
imderstand tlie influence of biofiiels on materials as well as tlie influence of materials on
biofiiels, Tliis paper summarizes our cuixent understanding of tlie coirosion of metals in
biofiiels. Tlie sources of biofiiels have been renewed. Difterent t>"pes of coirosion
expenenced in biofiiels liave been discussed, Teclmiques to investigate tlie conosivit>' of
biofiiels have been analyzed. Future developments in tliis field have been liiglihghted,
