[biofuel] Griffin Industries Biodiesel

Does anyone have any experience with biodiesel made by Griffin Industries? One of my trucks is sick, possibly fuel related, and both of them blow big white clouds on startup, and have experienced hard starting since I got my last batch of B100. I've put in a call to Aaron at Ward Oil about

Re: [biofuel] Griffin Industries Biodiesel

Alan, I checked with some of our local bioD resellers, and there was at least one bad batch from Griffin. I'd contact Griffin about it - maybe they'll comp you some good fuel for your trouble. Here in N. California, Yokayo Biofuels went the extra mile when they sold some funky bioD, and

Re: [biofuel] global warming?

Lillie, I accept that the Global Warming phenomena is a true and serious risk, but I am quite sure that all the factors that causes it are not counted for. It is a far more complex situation than only the CO2 pollution. I also think the CO2 pollution should be looked at as tracer of a far

Some scientists say it's not happening, some say it is, some scientists say it's manmade, some say it isn't. Perhaps the ratio between them is even 50%-50% Some scientists are put to work to prove a certain idea, paid, ofcourse, so you will get reports of evidence in whichever way is looked

Keith, Climate change is happening and it is very compelling proof to the conclusion that it is man made and pollution related. It might even be worse and more rapid than we now belive and it is very important that we get to the root of it. By making future scenarios based on several times

Re: [biofuel] global warming?

Keith, My opinion is that we are even more in a hurry to save energy and put significant resources into finding out what really is happening. It would be very bad if it is some other components than CO2 or the way we use energy. Then we sequester CO2 and start burning coal at full speed, only

There's also an issue of local pricing and timing here. Gasoline hit more than $4 per gallon last year if you bought at certain stations at certain times during the panic around Phoenix last year. I don't know that we'll see a $3 average this coming year, but if the predictions of coming
