I heard the website advertised on 90.1 Kera, the public radio station in DFW. The site is DFWbiodiesel.com. They have 3 locations, Fort Worth(Meacham), Dallas(Addison), & Denton. The FW location sells B20 for $2.19/gal. The others sell B100, but I don't know the price. The guy told me that B20 would go in my truck, an 03 with 48K on it, without any problems or any extra enhancements. He says that he puts an anti-gelling agent in it just in case. He said without it, it would start to thicken around 20F.
I've been wanting to do BD for a while now just to elminate some of the noxious fumes and to do my part for supporting oil independence.
