Super Low Sulphur Diesel and Cat engines???

[Al]

Can't comment on your harvest and transportation of biodiesel. All
I can tell you is it cost me $0.63 a gallon in materials and I know
my engine gets way more lubrication than the petro diesel product.
True it has less btu but I have not noticed a reduction in my
mileage. Even if I give up a mile or two, I can produce about 4
gallons to each gallon of diesel I buy. Best thing is you can mix
this with the petro based diesel product. The govt. gives blenders
up to $1.00 a gallon tax credit to do just that.

I can also tell you that biodiesel product continues to evolve. Now
it is a veg. oil based product. The future will be algea based
product. Their are several plants trying to come online in the next
few years. I think its very exciting to get a resource that is
renewable and is easier on my engine and the environment. As with
any new pioneering field, the costs are great in the beginning but
will decline as the technologies evolve to support the need.
