The Green Station

Save Biodiesel is a grassroots campaign to petition diesel vehicle manufacturers, the Environmental Protection Agency and the California Air Resources Board to ensure that new diesel emission technologies are compatible with biodiesel. The emissions technology currently being used in diesel vehicle models from 2007-2009 has been shown to be incompatible with biodiesel in any blend, from B5 to B100.

Waiting For The World To Catch Up

 

Bonno Bernard - VW Golf

I've had my Golf since Jan 2004, and I've been using biodiesel the whole time. Before the station went in, we had it delivered to the house and I'd pump it myself out of 55 Gal drums. I was in a steel band for years, so I was totally comfortable with that ;-) I got the NOPETRL plate to encourage questions from people.

I love telling folks: Yes - it's veggie oil!

I always feel great turning into the Green Station and fillin' 'er up. You guys are all so friendly... You offer a real community kinship.

Thanks for sticking with it while the rest of the world catches up to the greener truths! I so appreciate your dedication.
