citrus oil is essentially a mixture of hydrocarbons, not lipids so it couldn't be converted to methyl esters like biodiesel. That doesn't mean however that it couldn't be blended with bio or dino diesel and be successfully exploited as a fuel. Joe Street wrote: Very funny Tom! Designer

Joe, Like my father-in-law often laments: It's all about money. Todd's post explains subidies for blending BD in with petro. It also mentions a premium charge: . allows the blender to net the entire subsidy plus charge a premium of several cents per gallon for the blended fuel.

Todd, Thanks for the reply. If I understand you correctly, a reasonable strategy is to start at lower blends, largely due to limited production ( demand?). Subsidies and a premium added to blends help to make production profitable. As profit stimulates production, blends can be

Thomas, Lower blends result in higher profits? 1 gal B-100 --- 10 gal B-10 blend. The subsidy doesn't change by lowering the blend. The increased profit comes from the premium charges on the blend (regardless of % BD). Ex. 5 cents on 10 gal rather than on just 1gal. Have I got it
