Thanks for the response tilt. I happen to be in San Antonio this past weekend (Feb 24-27) and I would have liked to fill up with some BD blend instead of just D2. I have a 2002 Golf.
Thanks for the effort to research this lonniebear. This confirms my suspicion that there is no longer BD available in any kind of blend for public consumption in the San Antonio area. Sad indeed.
Not kept in a cool dark place, sealed well. Should last a year anyway I would think. About a quart per 12 gallons is B2.
The 'dark/sealed well' part is doable but 'cool' not so much in our garages in Texas ...
I figured that was the case, if you see BioD in a TX LED county they would know the specs since the requirements are so detailed. Again 48 cetane is a min for bioD
Unfortunately this may be the case unless you can talk to somebody knowledgeable in the store that can show you an invoice proving B20 or B5.
I emailed several companies here and was told they provide 40 cetane. Some thing was allowing them to not distribute 48 cetane fuel. I quoted that from the regs, but when asked they said they complied by other means.
this is from Chevron's site:
I know they are referring to s500 diesel, but its clear that they claim 48 cetane on their products. I can't imagine any supplier bearing the cost of that unless it was mandatory.
