A trailerload  of  B100  biodiesel  is
  ready to  be offloaded at  the  Ada
  Resources, Inc. terminal in Houston,
  TX.  Biodiesel is stored in two 20,000
  gallon tanks.


 Demand has grown so briskly that 
 Ada Resources now receives biodiesel 
 by the tankcar load.

                     BIODIESEL

      On The Road To Fueling The Future

      Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel produced
      from  domestic,  renewable  resources.  

      Biodiesel is the pure, or 100 percent, biodiesel fuel.  It is referred
      to as B100 or "neat" biodiesel.
      
      A biodiesel blend is pure biodiesel blended with petrodiesel.
      Biodiesel blends are referred to as Bxx.  The xx indicates the
      amount of biodiesel in the blend (i.e., a B20 blend is 20 percent
      by volume biodiesel and 80 percent by volume petrodiesel).

      Biodiesel is simple to use, biodegradable, nontoxic, and essentially
      free of sulfur and aromatics.  It significantly reduces emissions
      such as carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons and particulate
      matter.

      It can be used in compression-ignition (diesel) engines with no 
      major modifications.

           Biodiesel is the first alternative fuel to have fully completed the
             health effects testing requirements of the Clean Air Act.    

             In general, the standard storage and handling procedures used
             for petroleum diesel can be used for biodiesel.

             Hundreds of major fleets use biodiesel, including all branches of the
             US military, Yellowstone National Park, NASA, several state
             departments of transportation, major public utility fleets, and
             school districts.  The largest user of diesel fuel in the world, the
             US Navy, provided guidance for all Navy and Marine stations,
             saying B20 should be used where adequate fuel tanks are available.
