I should have called them FIRST!

So i just went on their website and gave them a call. I found out that they only are selling to fleets for right now but they do supply the LA co-op and Conserv Fuel in Brentwood.

I don't know when I will be in that area, there website said that VERT's near the 710 in LA but Brentwood is farther away from where I usually go.

I have filled up at Conserv fuel (conservfuel.com) a few times and they have good bio but the price right now is $2.95 a gal

Yeah so i should have just them called first

so why do people buy bio? is it less harmfull to the truck, meaning you can make up the extra cost with less maintaince? or is it just the fact that it has the word bio in it?

Bio diesel cleans out the system, some people run it once in a while to clean it out, some run it all the time because it helps against contributing to terrorism, some people just like the way it smells vs diesel#2.

Better lubricity than straight #2 - helps keep the injectors happy.

I get it whenever I go through Nevada, but only 2%.
