Oregon to start implementing biodiesel mandate Aug. 5 Oregon to start implementing biodiesel mandate Aug. 5 Quote: Starting this week, nine counties in northwest Oregon will be required to sell diesel fuel that contains at least 2 percent biodiesel. The rest of the state will make the switch Oct. 1. The city of Portland has required a 5 percent biodiesel blend to be sold at stations since August 2007. Beginning Wednesday, Aug. 5, Clackamas, Clatsop, Columbia, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill counties will begin offering the biodiesel blend. Exceptions will be made for rail, marine and home heating oil applications. Gov. Ted Kulongoski recently signed a bill into law – HB3463 – triggering the 2 percent blending requirement. He said it would ensure greater use of a renewable fuel source that will also reduce carbon emissions. more here>> Oregon to start implementing biodiesel mandate Aug. 5 __________________ Click here to learn how to sponsor us

I never understood why, but they get to run dyed, high sulfur (5000ppm) still. Which by the way is untaxed. It is considered "off-road" diesel and can also be used in agricultural application as well as construction. So basically, every other industry that requires a diesel motor can use non-taxed, high sulfur fuel, while we have to bear the tax and environmental burden. __________________ They call me Biscuit The best thing about being a pessimist is very rarely do you let yourself down.
