Our biodiesel program has us using B30 during winter months(Dec.-Feb.), Increasing the blend to 100% in March and decreasing during November. We use B100 during the remaining months and or as long as we can. We currently are Washington States largest consumer of Biodiesel using in excess of 30,000 gallons a year for both on and off road machinery.

Supporting cleaner air, your health, our farmers, and sustainability Currently in Washington State there are few retail outlets (locations can be found through our links page) with B100’s average cost at $3.00 gallon, B20 average cost $2.40 gallon.

100% Biodiesel does at this time have a higher gel factor, meaning that temperatures near freezing will thicken the fuel possibly causing fuel filter problems.

Biodiesel is an domestically produced alternative fuel that can be made from any fat or vegetable oil. Biodiesel can be used in any diesel engine with few if any modifications and has achieved a full national standard. (ASTM D6751) Below is a table showing emission reductions based upon EPA analysis.

EPA analyses	B100 (100%Biodiesel)	B20 (20% Biodiesel)
Total
Unburned Hydrocarbons	-67%	-20%
Carbon Monoxide	-48%	-12%
Particulate Matter	-47%	-12%

When you combine these emission benefits with reductions in other air toxins and potential cancer causing compounds, the 78% carbon dioxide reductions from the full life cycle analysis performed by the DOE, and the fact that biodiesel is already less than 15 parts per million sulfur fuel –biodiesel is a very positive step.
