Post subject:  B100 in Moab
Just got back from my first trip to Moab with the CRD. I checked in with Stewart at the Chevron station and he's still selling B100 (summer months only, of course). I used to run it in my VW's. Never had any problem with water or clogged filters.

Drive around back where there's a diesel pump for large vehicles along with a couple plastic tanks for the bio. You'll need someone from inside to help you with the first fill. When you see the setup you'll know what I'm talking about. FWIW, a few people drive over from Grand Junction to fill large capacity tanks. The fuel is excellent quality. It burns very clean out on the rock. :wink:

I am trying to picture the Chevron... I usually only fill up at the Maverick since they are .20 cheaper on the diesel. Is there a secret handshake involved?

The Chevron station is toward the south end of town on the east side of the street, but north of the Maverick. Maverick is .10 cheaper on the Wasatch Front, but I've never seen it vary more than a couple cents/gallon in Moab. It all comes in by tank truck either from Salt Lake or New Mexico.

As of two days ago, #2 diesel was 3.30/gal at all the stations and bio was 4.00 in Moab. It was 2.95 here (North Ogden, UT) on my way out of town.

No secret handshake, but it is kind of a makeshift pump. Stewart wasn't around when I was in town, but if you see him, ask where the fuel is coming from. He was getting soy bio from SLC. Last fall he was hyped about getting sunflower oil bio from a plant starting up over in Dove Creek. Anybody heard anything about that coming on line?

JL, is there a station on 72nd S in Salt Lake that sells bio? I'd love to get some B100 so I could mix my own. I would have brought some back from Moab if I'd planned on it and had a way to get it home. In fact, I may make that a priority for the next trip down.

cheers
