Looking to reduce the tons of carbon dioxide you put into the atmosphere every year? If you’re driving a diesel, you’re in luck! Piedmont Biofuels recently opened their first Raleigh refueling station, so now you can “gas” up on vegetable oil. Time to go shopping on Craigslist!
Here’s the text of their announcement on the Biofuels Interest Group mailing list:
Have you been banging down our doors?
Over the past year many folks have called and nagged and reminded and re-reminded us that the people of our fair state need a Raleigh option for getting biodiesel. We are happy to announce then that Piedmont Biofuels has now opened a B100 pump, our finest in fact, in the Raleigh area. The Raleigh pump is a card swipe system with unlimited user capacity, which tracks your fuel consumption over the month, and bills you at the end of the month. We even have a very fancy-shmancy graphical interface that allows us to visually see the Raleigh tank level from the safety of our control room in little Pittsboro. All this technology is fine and dandy, and we do love gadgets, but we also do this work in the great hope of getting our members that live or work in the Raleigh area to start using the new pump, and also to get the word out to Raleigh-based friends and relatives of our members. So please, if you know someone that needs to know that there is now a place to get B100 biodiesel in Raleigh, please pass the word along and have them give us a call.
About 3 months ago, I sold my gas burner Suburban and purchased a diesel Suburban for the sole purpose of turning it into a waste veg. oil burner. I have not converted it yet.
I might try a few sips of this B100.
Thanks for the information.
Boy, they’re late to the party. 😉 The first Ethanol (and biodiesel too, I think) pumps in the triangle opened about 1.5 miles from my house about 4 months ago.
Yeah, but you live in Derm. This is the first one in Raleighwood.
As I said, late to the party! 😛
