I have just opened the county's first commercial biodiesel plant. This is the healthiest way to operate your diesel equipment. The exhaust is very enviromentally friendly, and the price won't hurt your wallet either.

Welcome, Oak Biodiesel:

How much per gallon are you charging for your biodiesel? What mods need to be made to a diesel engine to convert it to biodiesel?

Thanks,

Biodiesel can run in virtually all diesel engines made after 1995, before that engines may need to have a few rubber seals replaced. Biodiesel runs about $2.50/gal

If we don't have a storage tank, how do we bring our equipment/vehicles to you?

I have a retail pump at my facility that cars and trucks can fill up at. I can also deliver 55gal drums of biodiesel

I have 6 diesel vehicles and would love to try this. 1998 VW Beetle diesel, 1991 Mercedes 350 SDL, 2002 Sprinter Vans, and Mack trucks. Do you have to run any additives with this fuel? Do you have to pre heat it like veg burners? Any special filters needed?

No preheating; it is actually being used as an additive for ultra-low sulfur diesel to increase the lubricity, so no additives needed (unless the temp drops below 17 degrees). My Ford E350 runs soooo much smoother on Bio than petro-diesel. All of my customers have same results.

I hate to be stupid here, but is this the stuff they make out of old cooking oil (your avatar looks like a pack of french fries to me)? If this is the same thing, I read about this in another publication not too long ago. Do your vehicles smell good enough to eat?

I use waste vegetable oil, but any triglycerides will do. The smell is much nicer than that of diesel of gas exhaust. My exhaust smells like a BBQ pit. Every engine is a little different though. BTW those are fries.
