RE: Spam:*********, [RC] Biodiesel & Gas - Karen Standefer
I’ve been running biodiesel in my
truck for 5 years and in my car for 3. I have no loss of power and fuel
economy is the same.
You don’t have to convert anything
to use biodiesel (unless you use a high percentage and then you need to make
sure you don’t have rubber/plastic gaskets). But, you may have to
blend it with higher amounts of diesel in the winters depending on where you
live. It also doesn’t matter if you switch between diesel and
biodiesel when you go on trips. They’re mixable in any percentage
you need. Don’t let it stop you from using it just because you can’t
get it on trips. I fill up 100 gallons before I leave and if I have to
put pure diesel in on the road, who cares. Still, you’re helping
the carbon dioxide problem by using what you can when you can. And
also cutting down on our dependence on oil.

Biodiesel & Gas
Friend of mine has a
97 Ford F250 diesel she converted to 100% vegetable oil last year. Runs like a
top, was easy to convert and she gets the fuel from local restaurants. Oh, and
smells better than the pure diesel she was using.
There are biodiesel
stations in our area with various percentage blends. I think some of our city
fleets are running on it. I haven't converted because I only use the big truck
for hauling and not sure I could find reliable and plentiful sources
on the road. There seems to be more suppliers everytime I look however. http://www.biodiesel.org/buyingbiodiesel/retailfuelingsites/
The rising cost of fuel will affect how many and which
rides I attend this year. Not that the rising costs are a bad thing. Should
help the jumpstart to alternative fuels and sources.
