Biodiesel

[JFitzgerald]

Does anyone know if there are places to buy biodiesel in northern IL or IN? Was reading an article in a magazine from my electric co-op, and they said the cost was "comparable" to regular diesel. They've been running it in co-op trucks in southern IL for a year or two with good results and like that they are supporting the farmers. They also mentioned that blends up to 20% bio could be used without fuel system mods. Is that true of our Cummins?

with your 00 there sould not be any more rubber seals & hoses to be a prob. even 100%, but its always best to do your own research, I'll try to put in some links. Biodiesel-Biofuels Research
Biodiesel.org - Retail Fueling Sites

Thanks for the links, John. There are a few near me.

What I don't understand is why bio diesel (made from soybeans) isn't cheaper than the petro based diesel. Can someone help me out?
