Bio Price
#31
Yep, same here in San Antonio with the local Bio guy continually raising his prices. The price was $2.50/gal a year ago, and last purchase was $3.50/gal...even though the feedstock is almost always waste oil.
His prices are always less than regular diesel, but when I factor in the number of times I've made the 25 mile trip only to find no fuel was available, or to have them not open up after I was told to show up at a certain time...50 mile wasted round trip. Done this more than once. Then more recently, clogged filters...and so much glycerine settling out in my store tanks that I started having to re-filter and let the glycerine settle out myself before I could it. So much hassle that in the last 4 weeks I haven't even bothered to call about availability.
Although, with dino prices taking some huge jumps in the last week to $4.49, maybe I better.

I guess I am fortunate. Sequentuial just opened up a retail station about 5 miles from home. So I don't have to worry about availability or the quality of the fuel. the only thing that bothers me is that they claim they are using mainly WVO their prices are higher than dino for B99 and just about even for B20.

If your getting glycerol in your fuel STOP USING IT! Full conversion WASHED biodiesel should never have glycerol in it! Your supplier is selling "raw" biodiesel, and it is not good for your engine..............People who sell "raw" biodiesel are what give biodiesel a bad name and make it harder to convince people of the real benefits of QUALITY Biodiesel.
