In Florida Manatee county is running it 100% (Bradenton, Fl.) We are going to run it at one of our facilities very soon. If it proves easy to get and live with, we will go to a 20% Bio-Diesel blend, as well.

Joe, I'd be interested in hearing from you how it works out in your climate. It has a tendancy to attract moisture. You are probably well informed on it so no more from me on it for now.

Brad,
Interestingly enough, we just got our fuel bid back and NO bidders for Bio-Diesel, even at our projected quantities. The engines guys (Cummins and IC at least) are recommending 5% blend and we wanted to go with the 20% stuff, because it is more readily available and makes for of an enviormental impact. Manatee district is still running 20% in Brandenton, Florida with no ill effects. Now, we're not certain what the next step will be. If we run it any time in the near future, I'll let you know how it goes.
