Biodiesel
« on: June 25, 2010, 11:47:59 AM »
For any GATR members that drive diesel vehicles:

http://www.downtoearthenergy.net/

I found this company a few months ago when I was trying to locate a b100 biodiesel re-seller in georgia. I was going to pass near by monroe yesterday (where they are located) and called them at about 6pm. Rick answered the phone and after telling me they close at 6 he said he would be happy to drive out and meet me since he lives fairly close. He did just that. Point of the story, if you drive a diesel vehicle and have any interest in running biodiesel, stimulating the economy or supporting a local, small business give these guys a call or stop by.  {toast}

Next time I'm out that way, I'll stop in and check it out, and get a tank of their stuff. If it is what you and they say, I might have to get some in bulk  ;)

I've gotta ask, because I've always heard, but wasn't sure.
When you run bio, does it really smell like fries, or doughnuts?

smells like chinese food. no joke. it makes me hungry when Im sat at a stop light

prices???

$3.70 a gallon right now. there was a $1.00 alt energy subsidy they were getting per gallon from the gvt but noboma took that away. it should be coming back fairly soon tho. I'll pay $3.70/gal all day to help the environment and clean out my diesel.

Ryan, you need to be careful running anything more than B20 because the older diesels had some rubber lines that may be susceptible to leaking from the biodiesel.

I talked to them about buying a 320gal tote...

The guy I talked to is Tyson and he didn't know the pricing for bulk off hand but he told me to call a guy named Mckay at 404.502.8616 and he would give me definite prices.
