BIO BURNERS RULE

Greetings Biodiesel Zealots!

I've been using B20+ biodiesel blend in my personal cars for over three years with no major problems. Now I'm using B99 because it's cheaper than B20 and B0 (zero). I still think B20 is the best fuel for mainstream usage (cars, buses, trucks, cargo vans, boats, etc) at this point. I've bought from everyone from Dr Dan to truck stops and am currently buying from Laurelhurst Oil in the U District of Seattle.

Also, I have a several years of experience at finding good used diesel cars (VW/Audi, Volvo, Mercedes, BMW 524td) or pickup trucks (Isuzu, VW, GM, Toyota, Nissan, Mazda) at hopefully good prices. I have time on the weekend if you want me to go with you to look at a car from a private seller, dealer or auction. Cars at auctions can be cheap such as $250 for a Rabbit 1.6L but you have to be careful -- since you might be buying a vehicle that will need a lot of money to get back on the road. Let me know if I can be of help -- contact me at tdi.nick AT gmail.com !
