View Full Version : 99.9% virgin soybean oil
Diesel Dino in phx. az. just caught & passed, a station that sells 99.9 % virgin soybean oil for $2.85/gallon. Still bad, but at least it's made in the good ole us of a. Dino here is from $2.70- $3.05 range depending on where you want to get Scr--ed at. Anyone out there ever ran 99.9% squashed soybeans . This is not recycled oil. Station owner says just pump & go, no modifications. required. Just wondered on performance, mpg & any bad things it does to engine? Any bean users out there? Mayby I'll try 10% first work my way up to 100% ?

Do they label it as Biodiesel? Does it meet the ASTM D 6751 standard?

What is a "300 gallon Tote" that they refer to at the bottom of their pricing sheet?

A tote is a square plastic tank on a metal pallet with a hatch on top for loading and a valve and hose connection on the bottom for unloading. Sometimes you will see them going down the road loaded on flatbed trailers.
