opps--posted to soon befor ei read down my digest onthe whole bio-deisel thing

anyway--i know one of the local co-ops here in fort collins co is in the process of going big. they are opening a facility in commerce city in denver (basically an oil refinery district) that will produce something like a million gallons a year. we will see how they do.

as for availability--apperently there are over 50 stations in the country who have bio-deisel at the pump.

i'm just relaying what i know/have been told here. but I am definately interested and an advocate I guess you could say.

there is alot of used vegetable oil out there. look how many chinese rest. there are. but in big scale--it would have to be raw. which is actually better in terms of how much active ingredient there is
