Hey all, I hope this isn't too off forum here, but i was wondering if anyone knows where I can get bio cheap? I'm looking for a co-op or some kinda fuel "club". I ran into a guy out in San Marcos, but I'm kinda leery of his method. I live near Irvine and work at Camp Pendleton, so I can cover a decent area to get a good price. I also can hold about 150 gallons, so I don't mind driving a little to pay less. Thanks!!

 

I dont know where you can buy it....but I do know you can make it yourself in a lot of cases. Some resturants will give you their used oil for free...all you have to do is filter it to make it useable.

Most veggie/bio diesel conversions still retain a diesle tank but they plumb in a second tank to hold the other stuff...simply because they use the regular diesel to start it then switch once its warmed up.

Theres companies out there that will do the converison for you...but if your handy enough Im sure you could do it youself.

Oh, believe me, I know how to make bio, and I know how to plumb my truck so it can run WVO properly. My only problem is storing the oil. Hell, I even have agood sup-ply of oil, just no where to store it. That's why I'm looking for a guy that sells bio and I can get him oil for a reduced price on his bio.

 

Yeah,
I hear ya....I dont know why noone has come up with a bio diesel station yet....theres some untapped market potential there....sell it for .50-$1.00 a gallon and drive a hole in the gas economy lol...you'd have tons of people lining up to convert their diesels as well....oh well.
Sorry I couldnt be of more help,

That's the best part Chris- there's no converting anything with bio. As long as it's made right, it's just as good, if not BETTER that #2.

Kurt, I really couldn't make out much from that site, but I did a yahoo search and found a place in Santa Ana. I just gotta find a way to drive around the protestors LOL

 

I think what the site is saying is that you can join a group and they will clue you into where you can fill up....its got a list of places on there...btu maybe theyre only for member? Dunno...anyway...good to know if I decide to move up to a Superduty..which I've been thinking more and more of doing just for this reason haha.

I did a yahoo business search for "biodiesel" and this place called extreme biodiesel" popped up. I was gonna go with a guy in San Marcos, but when I found out he is drying his bio with SULFURIC ACID, I ran like a bat outta hell.... Seeing as how I commute from Near Irvine to Oceanside everyday, I'd be willing to drive a bit to get bio at around $2.50 a gal. I will not pay more for bio than #2!!

 

There a truck stop off of washington Ave. off the 710 that sells diesel that is 20% bio last i looked the price was 2.85 on 06-14-07. Its it's in between the Union Pacific and bnSF rail yards.

 

extreme biodiesel in santa ana is 2.60 a gallon

 

I've been getting for about $2.20 a gal in San Marcos, but the guy doesn't wash his tuff, so I gotta do that, or clog the hell outta my pre-pump filter (2 micron) I might check out the extreme guys, already talked to them, they seem pretty cool.
