Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) 100% biodiesel- good or bad?

[Joe Mc]

Anyone know where to get Bio in my neck of the woods? I'm closer to Trenton N. J. and Philly isn't that far either?

Well, The guy came in my office talking about the benefits of Bio, gonna set me up with a 300 gallon tank, pump etc. That was at the first of this thread, weeks ago. I have not heard from him since... .



And on another point, he mentioned that the CTA busses in Chicago were all running 100% Bio, and on the suggestion of one of the posters on this thread, I called the CTA.

Took about 1. 5 hours on the phone, pressing buttons (Dont you love the goverment) but finally talked to someone who actually knew what Biodiesel was. He said they absolutly do NOT use Bio in the busses. They tried it once some time back, at a very low blend (B2?) but he could not remember what the blend was. They were not using it at this time, and as far as he knew, had no plans to try it again, blended or straight.



I guess the Bio Salesman got a little carried away with his sales pitch, and has not returned for me to ask more info from him...

Get the facts!

As I stated in a previous post, all the facts about biodiesel you need to study in order to be an informed consumer can be found at: www.biodiesel.org



These are the folks setting the standards to be followed by the future industries producing biodiesel. You will find issues that MUST be asked before being supplied with biodiesel... and get it in writing!



Another good source are the trucker programs on XMRadio. Hardly a day goes by that biodiesel issues aren't discussed, often with guests who are qualified experts on the subject providing answers to caller's questions.
