Bio diesel here in mid Mich is on average 10 cents per gal more expensive than regular diesel fuel, on or off road. That factor plus using the anti gelling additive in the winter time makes using bio diesel economically challenging. 90"s engines?????......Tractors, maybe, but most farmers do not use newer trucks. Most farm trucks are pre 90"s, many being pre 80"s. Three month"s use doesnt justify a new truck. Frankly I haven"t heard whether newer tractors are more bio diesel friendly than older ones. And our operation has not tried bio diesel, but I"m relating what I hear from those who have tried using it. So far, it has been a hard sell any way its cut.
