Attention: TDR Forum Junkies First Retail Biodiesel Pump in New Hampshire Opens
Fleming Oil Company and Global E Industries team up to offer alternative fuel
Trucking fleets, school districts and diesel vehicle owners in southern New Hampshire and Vermont now have a convenient local source of biodiesel, a renewable vegetable oil-based fuel.
Fleming Oil Co. of Brattleboro, VT and Global E Industries of Cavendish, VT will hold the grand opening of New Hampshire's first retail biodiesel fueling station on Wednesday, December 3 at Fleming Oil's Shell station on Route 9 in West Chesterfield, NH.
"This is a significant step for Brattleboro and the surrounding region" said Paul Cameron, Executive Director of Brattleboro Climate Protection. "Greater availability of biodiesel will help make our air cleaner and reduce carbon dioxide emissions that cause global warming. " The Town of Brattleboro has set a goal of reducing its carbon dioxide emissions by 10% by 2010.
Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine with no modifications. The
fuel can be burned in its pure form (B-100) or blended with petroleum
diesel at any level - most commonly 20% (B-20).
The West Chesterfield pump will offer B-20, which can be used in the
coldest winter temperatures.
"Everybody wins with biodiesel", said Dave Bonta, owner of Global E
Industries. "It improves our air quality, makes us less dependent on
foreign oil, and helps our farmers by providing new sources of revenue for their crops. "
Biodiesel, which is most commonly made from canola or soybean oil, burns much cleaner than standard diesel fuel. It significantly reduces emissions such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. It is nontoxic, biodegradable and essentially free of sulfur and aromatics. Biodiesel offers similar fuel economy, horsepower, and torque to petroleum diesel while providing superior lubricity. More than 350 major fleets use biodiesel nationwide.

Oh well, they have some of the country's lowest prices on griffin biodiesel. You are lucky!
