Great sign me up!....But does anybody know where the refueling stations are?

Plus now there saying is that ethanol based fuel doesnt make much of a difference polution wise.

Congratulations to these entrepreneurs.

So, the challenge is to market the product and provide convenient outlets for the consumer to purchase this alternative fuel.

And what about the benefits? Part of the marketing strategy is to highlight the benefits to our environment and our lives. Let's encourage and support the growth and expansion of this business. Chester

No stations so lots of luck..
But if they can get it going and have the staions with the fuel....wonderful for them, and everyone I suppose.
We are going to get the smell of french fries along with pulp mill..kewl

After reading a little about this new fuel, I'm thinking it's a good thing. It burns what would otherwise be waste product and it's supposed to lubricate the engine better. I'm looking forward to being able to use it.

I wonder if it meets biofule standards ..... or whatever standards fuels are supposed to meet.

A few more questions. What are the mechanics saying about this fuel? What effect does it have on fuel injectors?

Is the source of this fuel recycled cooking oil from Burger King, McDonalds, White Spot, A & W etc.???

Where does it come from and how much real improvement does it make to the environment?

My understanding is that the new bio-fuel would only make up 5% of the overall tank of diesel. Like an additive to each tank. Any additionl info on usage, quantities etc. would be helpful. Chester

That is one of the worst web sites I have seen in years, especially to be used as a marketing tool !

The product may be good, but wouldn't know that from their web site. Google to the rescue.

I would agree with the website assessment. Hopefully it was not a product of the CNC media class.

There are some FAQ I have which are not on the list yet that deal with the environment and the image that this is great for the environment and human health.

1. Where is the “waste” product currently being used or dumped? This goes to finding out whether the use in biodiesel is the best use.

2. How much of this “waste” product is available for this purpose? In other words, if all diesel was legislated to require this as an additive, the same as the legislation that gasoline had to have its lead content removed, would it be possible to supply a 5%, 10%, 20% mixture throughout Canada?

It also sounds like it is more expensive since they are writing about offsetting factors which would justify additional cost.

Good morning,

I'll try to answer a few of the questions posted here.

First off, biodiesel has excellent lubrication properties, which is one of the reasons it is often used in low blends. Even at five percent, it cleans out deposits left by petroleum diesel and reduces wear on the fuel system (including injectors).

The actual blend used varies by customer - you can run pure biodiesel if you should so desire.

Biodiesel is actually made out of virtually any form of animal or vegetable oil imaginable. Much of what is currently being sold by PG Biofuel is produced from soybean oil. In theory, restaurants currently pay a reductions company to remove their waste oil. From that point, it is usually processed and turned into animal feed.

Often, though, waste oil finds its way into landfills and sewage systems. Whitehorse (Yukon), for instance, is looking at biodiesel production because they're concerned about the quantity of oil ending up in their landfill.

On the emissions side, biodiesel burns far cleaner than petroleum diesel. Most of the nastier portions of diesel exhaust (the toxic and carcinogenic bits, for instance) are cut down by 70-90 percent. Actual greenhouse gas emissions are not reduced quite as dramatically, but since biodiesel is produced from plants that took the carbon out of the air in the first place, the net carbon increase is far lower.
