Anyone know if there is a retailer in my area or where to look for one?

Well I live in central Illinois (the farming part of the state) and BD is hard to come by even in this area. I don't exactly know where you live, but outside of Chicago and most of the suburbs there are "farmeresque" fuel stations like FS that all carry at least B2.

I live in an area dominated by farming and I only have access to B2 within 50 miles or so...

You folks grow too much corn and that is methanol for the gas burners FFV's. :wink:

I've bought a few tankfuls from them. Motor runs pretty quite. They don't have the price on the pump (go to pump #10) none of them do. You'll have to call or go to the front door and ask. Yes, it's B11 bio

Oh, I think you may be slightly misguided :wink: Illinois harvests more soybeans than any other state in America, I think we're #1 or #2 in corn though. By comparison to other states and the ratios of whats grown, Illinois is far bigger in the soy bean market. If you ever drive through Decatur, IL (the absolute Mecca of American Farming) you'll catch a nice whiff of "soy bean fumes" from about 10 miles out :P

But like I say you grow too much corn for the FFV crowd, we should just stick to eating & drinking corn. :wink:

I knew IL was a big SB grower, just didn't know it was that big. Hey IL grows rice also, who knew that? Not many. MO has started getting into the BioDiesel big with 3 plants being built over the next 3 years that will be million gallon plus plants. 8)
