What vehicles are biodiesel-ready?
Almost any diesel vehicle should be able to use biodiesel, at least up to B20, anyhow. “Any diesel engine can use biodiesel.” Lots of today’s car companies also have models that are able to run on biodiesel. (Sheppard)
Where can we go buy biodiesel?
The closest possible place, though, that we would be able to get biodiesel would be a few places in Atlanta or “Down to Earth Energy” in Monroe (Biodiesel.org). That’s a good 45 minutes in any direction. And even there, they would only sell B20. Why, we’d waste much of our just-purchased biodiesel getting home! That’s no way to go.
How do we get someone to offer it where we live?
I suppose that raises the question of just what are we supposed to do? First of all, we would need to find a company here in Conyers to host the selling of biodiesel. After that, we would have to, one way or another, contact a biodiesel producing company (Biodiesel.org’s guide to buying biodiesel says it is not wise to make the stuff our self). Once we find a way to contact them, we would have to put up our petition. We would have to think of some mighty good reasons for them to sell to Conyers. We would have to organize the coming together of the seller and the retailer in Conyers. Then we have it all nice and lovely on our front porch.
What are the biggest hurdles?
Actually, there would be some hurdles. Just how in the world are we going to get someone to work with us, first of all? And then there’s the issue of finding a way for that biodiesel to get out of a pump in the ground (or into it, first of all, I suppose), once we get the people to work with us. Then, we of course would have to be able to influence the people of Conyers to buy the biodiesel. They may not want to vary from what they’ve always done, but we could do it. With a little perseverance, we could just maybe make the world a little greener, one gallon of biodiesel at a time.
