I just returned from a truck show in Toronto, and wanted to see information on Biodiesel. There are some commercial producers but not hardly enough. Not as much information as I expected to see on Biodiesel. You can find a lot of information here at http://tinyurl.com/p9gqw. You can learn a lot about Biodiesel. Pros and cons of Biodiesel. Environmental benefits. The basic properties of Biodiesel. Energy, performance and efficiency. How to safely use Biodiesel. OME warranties and use. Biodiesel compatible engines and where to buy Biodiesel.

We were hauling some horses to Regina Canada a few years back, we fueled up at a station in Nebraska. My first experience with Biodiesel was interesting. As trucks pulled in and out the truckstop, the exhaust smelled like burned burnt peanuts. Even though it was a blend, it really didn't smell all that bad. At that time, we weren't even considering what the effect Biodiesel may have had on our equipment. We never even considered OME Biodiesel requirements. We just assumed all would be OK. Well, it was. The big turbocharged Powerstroke droned along like normal.

I also noticed a couple hydrogen producing systems at the show that say you can save as much as 20% on diesel fuel. I think if it is possible to blend or make Biodiesel, then add some of these new technologies, we can beat these high fuel cost problems.

I am in the transportation industry and talk to truckers and trucking companies all day. Diesel fuel prices are all consuming these days with no end in sight. I can't seem to figure out why gasoline used to be high and diesel fuel was always less expensive because the refining process was less. I can vouch for that because if you were raised on a farm as I was, and spent any time at all cleaning the fuel system in a diesel tractor, you know all about all the silt that settles in the settling bowl. For all intents and purposes it is mud.

We just need to spool up making good clean home made Biodiesel. More soon.
