LOS ANGELES, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Palm Oil Council (APOC), a U.S. association representing the Malaysian palm oil industry, applauds the South Florida Regional Transportation Authoritys decision to run eight of 10 Tri-Rail locomotives on a 99 percent blend of either palm or soy oil.
"Tri-Rails move to biodiesel fuel is a clear statement of South Floridas dedication to preserving the environment as well as a vote of confidence for the palm oil industry. The transition is a great step forward, and we encourage other transportation authorities in the United States to follow South Floridas lead," said Mohd Salleh Kassim, APOCs executive director.
(The success of the biodiesel fuel industry relies heavily on biodiesel testing, not only at the production level but at the consumer level, where degraded fuel may cause engine failures. Fleet Biodiesel's family of inexpensive biodiesel test kits is just a click away on the internet)
