RE: [biofuel] Volkswagen TDI
I also have a 2002 Golf TDI. In the last two months I've had the car into the dealer for warranty work (window regulators and trunk release button poked through). It was fully covered and I've been running 100% biodiesel since I bought the car used (10,000 miles ago). We should be clear. Biodiesel does not void the warranty. My warranty is still entirely valid. If something were to happen in the engine during the warranty period, VW would have to know you were burning biodiesel and make a case that the biodiesel was the cause of the problem. Same goes for crummy petrodiesel. Burn the bean! aaron in wisconsin I have an '02 Golf and I know for a fact that using biodiesel in your VW will void the manufacturer's warranty.

RE: [biofuel] Volkswagen TDI
Indeed. My point was that saying using biodiesel will void your warranty isn't accurate or constructive. The fact is, if you put crummy fuel in your tank and break something, that problem isn't covered under the warranty. Whether that fuel was made (poorly) from dinosaurs or fryer grease it doesn't matter. So my answer to the question, will using biodiesel void my warranty: No, it will not void your warranty. However, if you put poorly made fuel into your vehicle, and something happens as a result of that poor fuel, VW _may_ not cover the repairs to that particular problem. That's my take on the issue. aa -Original Message- From: John Hayes [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] My point is that if you choose to run BD, you need to a) pick your dealer wisely, and b) be prepared to suck it up and pay if something fuel related breaks.

[biofuel] cleaning out storage tank
Howdy. I have a 500 gallon mobile storage tank that was usde by a construction firm. It looks like a giant barrel on wheels. I imagine it needs a good cleaning. Any suggestions for how to clean this out before filling with biodiesel? Thanks. aaron in wisconsin Yahoo! Groups Sponsor -~-- Get A Free Psychic Reading!

[biofuel] biofuel transportation concerns
Hello all. I am looking to transport 500 or more gallons of biodiesel at a time to supply our biofuels co-op. We have a trailer made for the purpose of fuel transport. Are there any legalities or practical concerns y'all might have encountered in transporting fuels? At what volume would someone need a special license or certifications? Hazmat placards? We are located in Wisconsin, USA. The fuel would be coming from Minnesota. Are there interstate commerce issues?

[biofuel] koch / flint hills soy diesel
Howdy folks. While I was cruising the TDIclub forums, I came across a reference to http://www.premiumdiesel.com/ which is the website of Koch refineries. They list US soy field diesel and US soy field diesel plus and have availability maps for stations that carry. Their product information doesn't necessarily reveal whether this soy diesel is B1, B20, or B100, they just call it soy field diesel. My impression is that this is just using biodiesel as a slight additive. At the same time, I am mildly heartened that at least biofuels are breaking through. Does anyone out there have any experience with these folks? aaron in way too warm wisconsin, south of most of canada Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.

[biofuel] home heating with biofuels
Hello all. I'm trying to convince our state (Wisconsin, USA) renewable energy contracting/research firm to pursue biofuels in residential applications. If you orsomeone you know has used waste oil, fresh oil, and/or biodiesel to heat a residence(displacing fossil fuels) I would appreciate a contact. If you are aware of any researchprojects or demonstrations of such technologies, I would also appreciate your help. In doing this, I hope to open up our state's generous renewable energy grants and low-interestloans to folks wishing to convert their fossil fuel oil boilers/furnaces to renewablesources. Also, if you happen to live in Wisconsin, I would love to speak with you abut thisproject and hopefully work together to let our state know there is interest in such aprogram.
