MIYAYO IN THE REAR VIEW, THE KEYS IN THE IGNITION

ABOVE:
This was our rental truck, a 24 Ft 2005 International.
It was a factory turbo diesel no modifications.
We ran it down to Miami on 200 gallons of fuel,
150 of it was home made B100. No problems.
It was the return trip that made headlines...

RETURN TRIP, MINUS THE BREAKDOWN (MIAMI - NYC):
This was last Tuesday morning, the 11th, sort of like yesterday.
We headed out of town a full tank of Diesel Fuel
and as we ventured the east coast's I-95
and set out to find Bio Diesel spots to refuel.
Made our own map quest using a blackberry,
an antiquated GPS system and an old fashioned map.
There are seemingly hundreds of bio fuel sites listed across America,
but only two along our route. With that said the only two along our route
and they only use B20 or B5 which is great, but not exactly best said,
as an "alternative fuel" more like an eco supplement.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the terms B5 or B20
or Bwhat have you,the B stands for Biodiesel and the Number
is the percentage of bio fuels used in the mixture with traditional
petro based diesel.

The first is located in Melbourne, FL ...

The second stop/spot was as they say in the south, a blower.
We were so excited to stop ... we had mapped out our fuel usage so that by the time we hit VA
we would be on empty, or close to it. We pulled up to the pump and proceeded to take all these photos (TK) proud, smiling, as if we unearthed a treasure. I mean, at an Exxon station, bananas.
Here is the address, but get your Watchcard.

Yes WTF. The info says all Credit Cards accepted, but damn man nobody could
help us pay for the smart stuff, they where all "Why can't you use regular Diesel?"
Oh bother! To the tune of Winnie the Pooh



Also on the road you can call Trucker Joe Jobe, a hotline, to help find Biodiesel fueling locations. They locate by city not by route so you have to be the son of a cartographer to know all those town's locations.
