chipfatmatt | 08.01.2006 00:45 | Ecology | Sheffield
First dedicated biodiesel garage in the country, in Mcr.
Run by Manchester Biodiesel Coop, a not for profit cooperative, the garage offers two types of fuel. The first B5, is 5% biodiesel mixed with 95% diesel. This will be available to anyone, and can be used in any diesel engine without modification, as the fuel meets the same specification as diesel, and does not have any implications for warranties etc.
The second fuel (soon to arrive) will be 100% biodiesel, made to the highest european standards. To get this fuel from the pump, you will need to become a member of the Coop. This is a simple process, costing £10, and allows Mcr Biodiesel Coop to ensure you have received the right advice before using the pure biodiesel. They will recommend the best blend to run on, and by having both B5 and B100 pumps, and mixing the two, any blend can be provided - for the first time in the UK!! NO CONVERSION IS REQUIRED TO RUN ON ANY BLEND OF BIODIESEL!! WORKS WITH ANY DIESEL ENGINE! Ther fuel will be made from recycled vegtable oils, or german rapeseed - no tallow or palm oils allowed!
Manchester Biodiesel Coop is a not for profit company, working desperately hard to bring you this instant alternative to fossil fueled motoring. Using biodiesel can reduce full lifecycle carbon doixide emmissions, compared with normal diesel, by 50-80%, and local air quality is improved too. It is a biodegradeable and non toxic fuel, reduces wear on your engine, and brings a wonderful smell of chips to your driving experience. All taxes have been paid, and it is fully legal. Prices will be very competitive with normal garages, with the pure biodiesel cheaper than the B5.
The garage is currently called Fletchers, but as soon as the signage arrives, will be called Green Gold Biodiesel, and is open now on Fairfield St, just behind Piccadilly train station.

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED!! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, COLLEAGUES AND ANYONE WITH A DIESEL VEHICLE!!

Where is the oil from?

Growing crops for the manufacture of car fuel is rather unsustainable, methinks, so getting mass-produced vegetable oil that's made for cooking is neither renewable nor sustainable.
