Re: [RC] BIO DIESEL - Karen SullivanI looked into biodiesel about a year ago. At that time, it was about $2.65 a gal, which is getting pretty darn competitive as diesel here in Calif is now over $2.50 a gal.... I for one, would not mind paying a bit more for biodiesel since it burns cleaner (my contribution to environment and less guilt to using my truck, however would have to currently drive to next county to buy it... However, I am wondering how much cheaper veggie oil is....what size containers are you buying it in and how does it break down cost per gal? Even 5 gal containers of veggie oil I see break down to about $5 per gal....

As much as I want to be environmentally friendly, my pocketbook comes first. Sooo, we're going used veggie oil first. I understand there are various bios diesels that range from 10-100% veggie oil. The more veggie oil, the thicker it is so with a larger percentage, either it has to be heated (which is what our tank is going to do) or it has to have additives that thin it out. For the gentleman wanting to know more, a couple of months ago there were several e-mails on this thread. You might search the archives. We purchased our from Greasel and they have a website www.greasel.com. Adam will finish installing ours tomorrow and we're very excited about it's potential.

Bean fuel SOY Search the internet for details biodeisel.org.??? There's a station in Sparks, Nevada I wanted to go to while I was at the convention but no time to check it out. They say if the truckers use this it will change all fuel pricing and mineral drilling would pretty much change the world. Steven A. Elliott Equine Performance Products/Las USA 4181 Spring Ct.
