Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Safeway Bio-Diesel

[GCULP]

Gentlemen, has anyone fueled up at a Safeway store lately? The one I went to last night has a new sticker on the pump I haven't seen before, it says, "B5 Soy Bio Diesel". I turned around and came home not being sure if I should trust it or go to another station. The only reason I want to fill up there is I currently have enough points to get $0. 80 off per gallon, that would be $1. 79 a gallon if I fill up there.

Ive seen the B5 stickers on the Shell stations here in Bothell. I think I remember hearing that all diesel sold in Washington has to be B5 by a certain date. Maybe Jan 1 09 ? Is that true for Oregon ?

maybe so, anyone else??

yep, 5% bio in diesel, 10% ethanol in gas.

Great for lubrication!

It will clean all the gunk out of the tank, lines, etc, that the USLD hasn't.

Godspeed,

I've been using the local Safeway B5 Biodiesel for over a year now... never had a problem with it. I've run biodiesel blends ranging from 5% to 40%.



Fill 'er up!

I think you are going to find that Biosurprise has been mandated for the Portland area, I'm not sure of the implementation date. :-laf

So sorry, the rest of the state has to go along to get along. We will all be there soon. #@$%! Hippies!

I myself like BioD but think it ought to be a choice not mandated by some bunch of yahoos in Salem, Portland, Medford or Eugene.

Just wait until they decide that B100 at 8 bucks a gallon is even better. I think theyve already got the votes.

someone will bring up those pesky NOx issues.

I' would still spend $8 a gallon, if I knew the $$ was staying in the states, instead of some terrorists pocket...

Here in Washington, all of our oil comes from Alaska and Canada.



Of course, I think they ship most of the diesel to Europe.
