Food 4 Less My wife drives the TDI, I am driving a Volt now (only 43 gallons for first 7000 miles - 160 miles per gallon!). Still love my TDI for road trips. My wife always fills up at Food 4 Less in Evanston. Thanks again for info!

thanks petrodude! Thanks Petrodude... great to have someone in the know advising on where to get pure diesel... thanks!:)

new station Food 4 Less On Main Street in Evanston (just east of McCormick) is now open and selling diesel. Their diesel pumps have no stickers. As we know that may or may not mean it is not biodiesel, but I thought I'd share.

My HPFP failed at about 3 months out of warranty. Jennings VW in Glenview managed a good will warranty extension and I got the fuel pump and entire fuel system replaced (nomal cost $6,000+). In the year before the failure I routinely filled up at a BP in Highland Park where they claim to have...

VW announcement Sounds like great news to me! Checking the oil used to be standard procedure when filling up back in the day, so no big deal to me. I will still seek out pure diesel, but good to know that the worry is oil contamination and not fuel or exhaust system. I am curious how...

Good idea, I wasn;t sure where to report the complaint.

Sam's Thanks. I have been buying at the BP in Highland Park which has no stickers and has been reputed to have non biodiesel. FYI, my HPFP (high pressure fuel pump) failed about a month ago whe the tank was near empty. This caused metal shards to travel throughout the fule system and...

Sam's Club I wonder if all of the Sam's Clubs are bio free? Anyone know about Sam's Club in Evanston?

excellent post - thank you I have been following this thread for several years now. This was the best post to date. Thank you. Can you supply the exact link for "true dealers"? "ULSD Fuel Retailers without any biodiesel blend Hi Everyone, In my pursuit to find a pure provider of...

Service for a 2009 Jetta BPI I passed my 2 year warranty period on my Jetta and want to find a good VW mechanic other than the overpriced VW dealers. Any suggestions for the far north side of the city?

BP at Tower and Green Bay "BTW: The BP at Tower and Green Bay Rd in Winnetka doesn't have B2 which they said they did. There is a difference and stopped filling from there. Go Golf Go!" I thought they were selling pure diesel. Are you saying that they are selling B11? Does anyone no any...

thanks... no I meant a passenger door bumper/protector.... I can;t believe how many cars are being designed without... not too cool in the city where dings are common.

Just curious: what's and RGM bumper guard? also, does anyone know of any products to protect the Jetta doors?

TDI Skater, But why blend in the first place, if you are going to buy pure diesel anyhow? I didn't mean to be flippant, but I am already kind of pissed that I have to plan my gas purchases around when I am going to be in the nieghborhood of a pure diesel dealer. Going to yet another gas...

according to the owner's manual it is not OK to use B11: "Diesel fuel with a higher concentration than ULSD-Diesel No. 2 ASTM D975 and Bio-diesel with a higher concentration than 5% like B11, B20 or B100 are strictly prohibited." This is my understanding of the issues including the larger...

letter to Chicago Tribune This is what I sent to Bob Weber at the Chicago Tribune (motormouth.trib@verizon.net): Dear Bob, Thank you for your great column in the Chicago Tribune. I have a 2009 Jetta Sportwagen TDI (Turbo Diesel). I bought it for its outstanding fuel economy, functionality...

I think a petition is an awesome idea. If you want to organize, I'd suggest drafting something and then just asking folks who want to sign to send you for their model, year, dealer purchased from and name and addresss. They could send you this info via private email if they are concerned...

Sorry for my ignorance. What does UOA stand for? My limited knoweldge is that bio-diesels provide less lubrication than the higher sulfur non-biodiesels and the result is that the engine wear (rings, gaskets) is more with bio-diesel. Thoughts, pearls of wisdom? Tom, Rogers Park, Chicago.

MSU Spartans, from the link you provided on Minnesota bio-diesel: " A standard for B20 fuels is expected to be ratified by an SAE committee within the next few months. Once that standard is in place most carmakers have already said they will test and certify their diesel engines for use with...

bio diesel in Chicago? I have a 2009 VW Jetta Sportswagen and live in Rogers Park (far north side of the city). I have not found *any* city gas station that pumps pure diesel. I also have not found any bio-diesel that is appropriate anyhwere in Illinois. Meiers is the only sure bet for pure...
