Good day, I live in Los Angeles. How can I become member of the Alternative Fuels Vehicle Network (AFVN) in my area? Thank you, Jonathan

I am interested in purchasing a vehicle I can run as a biodiesel--the problem is that where I live in South Florida, the choices for new diesel vehicles are severely limited. I would prefer a minivan, as my wife and I are avid mountain bikers and scuba divers, so I need the space. I don't really need a huge Dodge Sprinter van or the monster Econoline Vans that sell as diesels. Does anyone know about "reasonable" imports from Europe, of a mfg of minivans or equivalent? Hi Dan, If you can find a nearby member of the Alternative Fuels Vehicle Network (AFVN), then that person can most likely assist you. That group should be able to conduct vehicle fleet, fuel usage and operation analysis. AFVN should have access to a data base that will allow selection of potential pumping stations for alternative fuels. Furthermore, they sometimes sponsor awareness program in the area of alternative energy and its impact on the community in which it is produced and used. Many times an education and awareness program is needed to more fully involve the community and its residents and may help many more people than just you. I was also surprised to find out that this group offers training and workshops to potential auto sellers and pumping facilities. It is reported that AFVN has access to training CDs for E85 vehicle dealerships (including sales and purchasing decisions affecting the flex fuel vehicle), government officials and community organizations. Sorry that I don't know the particulars.... If you become involved, you can teach the rest of us. Having people active in the production and distribution is necessary for end-users to enjoy their convenience. Thanks for supporting all levels of alternative fuel production and use. It all relates to much more than producing alternative fuels. Once someone in your area agrees to work on a feasibility study that could be sponsored by your state, then please let us know. We would love to set up a production facility in Florida. Because our research associates have already demonstrated in a university study over 1000 gallons of fuel ethanol production per acre of cattail, it is a natural next step to set up a growing and production facility. If you own a bog in Florida, let's talk.
