SOY-BASED BIODIESEL.
You grow soybeans. Your soybean checkoff helped develop
soy-based biodiesel. Government and industry studies show
it’s good for your engines, the environment, and U.S. farmers.
Farmers are the second-largest consumers of diesel fuel
in the U.S. So when you request biodiesel, fuel suppliers will listen.
Ask your fuel supplier to carry B 2 - a two-percent blend of pure,
ASTM D-6751 quality soy-based biodiesel. It’s available throughout
the United States, so why not ask for it and use it?
Using B 2 on your farm supports the industry’s growth, by increasing
the number of suppliers for high-quality biodiesel fuel. And, a B 2
blend provides increased lubricity for your engines, a boost in cetane,
and reduced dependence on foreign oil
more than 50 million bushels of soybeans per year - the combined
2001 annual soybean harvests of Delaware, Maryland, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York. Imagine the potential.
ASK FOR IT. PUMP IT.
