A Lesson on Biodiesel
"Deer Valley School District has been using biodiesel since May of 1999. Biodiesel is used both in its pure form (B100) as well as in diesel/biodiesel blends, typically B20. We have over 2,500,000 miles of real world use and operation with biodiesel in over 150 vehicles including school buses, trucks, street sweepers, backhoes and lawn equipment. Not only did biodiesel increase the lubricity and cetane values for our fuel without sacrificing performance, the transition to cleaner, greener biodiesel has been the easiest transition of any of the renewable fuels Deer Valley has tried. All of our diesel equipment is currently being operated on biodiesel (B20). Our ultimate goal is to displace 120,000 gallons of petroleum diesel this year."

Green Fuel on the Green River
Mammoth Cave National Park operates two ferries using biodiesel on the Green River. "The air quality and environmental improvement benefits make this the fuel of choice."
- Ron Switzer, Superintendent, Mammoth Cave National Park, Mammoth Cave , KY
Still Satisfied After Four Years
Mammoth Cave National Park uses biodiesel in the ferries, graders, backhoes and lawn mower equipment. The park uses B20, and hopes to increase the percentage in the future."If we hadn't told anyone we're running it, no one would have known the difference."
