Yeah, we've got a big one going in here in Indiana along with a huge ethanol plant as well. No more idle farm lands going to waste, now all the acerage out here will be planted and utilized again!

A little off topic, but I've only run dino #2 since new. I finally found a biodiesel pump near me. It's only 2% bio. Will I have a cleaning effect of the fuel system after 10,700 miles that will clog my filter up if I start using this D2???

Out of curiousity, what are people paying for diesel/biodiesel around the country? The lowest I've found petrodiesel currently is 3.07/gal

Possible, but not likely. It kind of depends on quality of fuel you have been buying, but you are close to filter change out time anyway. So you might just run without changing filter at first (have a filter ready in Jeep just in case) and then change at regular time. If you had 50k plus miles on the Jeep I would suggest running it a couple hours and then change the filter, unless the filter was new with less the 1000 mile on it then I would watch it close and either have a filter in the Jeep ready to change out beside the road or just give it about 2 to 4 hrs of run time to clean fuel lines and tank. B2 will clean your fuel system just as fast as B20 or B100, and it will remove all the old fuel residue and leave you with clean as new fuel system.

One thing I never hear much about here is the useage of a biocide when using biodiesel. I do a 1/2 oz of Power Service biocide with every tank and if I were running petro diesel I would use it about every other tank or two. I have seen what can happen whenthe critters start growing in a fuel tank, it ain't pretty.

Just a clarification for a diesel newby..... The regular silver Power Service works as a biocide when I start filling up with B100?????? And only 1/2 oz.????

The company isn't immediately planning to buy Washington-grown canola oil because of the price, Plaza said.
"We have to be competitive with diesel," he said.

But he added that the company will consider buying from local farmers, who might be encouraged to grow the seeds when they see a firmly established market for them.

"They just have to be competitive with foreign [vegetable] oil," Plaza said.

The refinery could help create a more stable state biodiesel industry, said Matt Steuerwalt, a senior energy policy adviser to Gov. Christine Gregoire. Now there is little infrastructure to make the fuel.

But the project also could hurt smaller biodiesel plants proposed in Eastern Washington because it would hold down prices and meet demand for biodiesel, said Chad Kruger of Washington State University's Climate Friendly Farming project.

But Bruce Nave, an Arizona businessman looking to build a biodiesel plant in Whitman County, predicted the Grays Harbor project's use of foreign palm oil could make it less attractive to consumers.

"We're trying domestically to get off imported fuels, whether or not it's a renewable fuel or petroleum," he said.

The plan to use Malaysian palm oil also raises questions for some about the environmental benefits, because rain forests in Malaysia are being cleared for palm-tree plantations, said Brant Olson, of the environmental group Rainforest Action Network.
