An unassuming gas station in the small Virginia crossroads of Bassett Forks may hold the key to the future of energy security.
Dean Price of Red Birch Energy said this week his station, located on U.S. 220 near Collinsville, is now exclusively selling locally produced biodiesel fuel and sales have increased by 40 percent. Price noted that truck drivers have told him they are getting better mileage with his biodiesel than with the diesel fuel they usually buy
(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)
