at first I thought, nah, no need for a BioDiesel forum or sub-forum.
Not many people probably use it anyways, and it may be harmful to diesels; after all gasohol was short-lived wasn't it? Well I've changed my mind and think a BioDiesel sub-forum in the General Diesel section would be a great idea.
My latest Farm Bureau monthly news has a half-page ad urging us to ask our dealers/suppliers to offer it. I visited the BioDiesel.org website and it sounds like a win/win proposition especially in NC where tobacco farmers are being paid by the government to stop growing tobacco in favor of soybeans. I’m not so naive that I think it's a cure-all on our dependence on foreign oil, or for the NC economy but it has more merit than I first gave it credit for.
So now I have all these questions like can it be stored in tanks for months without separating from the petroleum base? Does it have to be stirred? Does it cause harmful deposits? Where can I buy it in my corner of NC?
So how about it Jack, Lary? By now some posters here have their own ideas about it because they're using it already, but I have yet to start so I could learn a lot from their experience.

It'll have to stay in "other" for now as we don't have the capability for sub-forums. Until that happens, I don't want to add any more categories on the front page. Too many forums out there have WAY too many categories on them, and it drives users away.
