: CA biodiesel?

Anyone know of a place to get biodiesel in southern CA?

With fuel prices going berzerk (for no other reason than profit-gaining Sherman antitrust violations...) I would imagine the biodiesel thing will become increasingly noticable.

There are two places in SD, and one place in Escondito.


I would expect prices to be upwards of 3.50 for B20 and higher for a richer mix of BD...

Inte,


The best place to look is at Biodiesel.org--they have a listing of retail Biodiesel sites.


When I purchase it--I get it from ITL fuels in Cudahy. Price ranges usually around .18cents above diesel for B20. Last night D2 was $2.36 so I would imagine B20 was around 2.53 to 2.54.


In San Diego I know of one retail outlet called RTC fuels in El Cajon blvd. I am cautious about them because they use recycled oil--whereas ITL uses virgin Soy.


There is another retail site available in Ventura--they several B20 pumps and one B100 pump. They use Virgin soy. It is called T.W.Brown Oil company.


Be cautious of where you buy--I had the fuel from ITL sampled and analyzed by AVlube and it came back excellent.


I hope this helps you.
