This statute states that all diesel fuel <br /> delivered to retailers/ commercial accounts for sale in the state of Minnesota <br /> must contain at least 2 percent biodiesel by volume. Proper identification <br /> showing the amount of biodiesel in the fuel must be provided for each shipment. <br /> This statute does not apply to off-road taconite and copper mining equipment, <br /> ' railroad locomotives and motors located at nuclear power plants. Biodiesel is not <br /> required to be blended in fuel oil for heating purposes or used in turbine engine. <br /> Biodiesel, or B2, is a petroleum free alternative fuel made from renewable <br /> proteins such as soybean oils. B2 is a clean-burning diesel fuel that can assist in <br /> ' the growth of our economy as well as reduce our dependence on foreign fuel <br /> supplies In addition, B2 improves fuel lubricity. While B2 is an effective <br /> alternative, please remember that it is critical that pure biodiesel, when blended <br /> ' with diesel fuel, meet the ASTM D6751 standard for fuel quality in order to <br /> provide trouble-free operation of internal combustion vehicles. No special <br /> storage requirements are needed for the new fuel, but like all diesel fuels, we <br /> encourage storing this fuel in a clean, dry vessel away from high temperatures. <br /> in compliance with Statute 239.77, Beaudry Oil will begin supplying B2 biodiesel <br /> ' to all of our regular diesel customers beginning September 29, 2005. <br /> For further information on biodiesel and other alternative fuels, please call or visit <br /> ' the following sites: <br /> • The Biodiesel Helpline: 1-800-929-3437 <br /> ' • MN Dept. of Commerce: 1-651-215-5821 <br /> • MN Dept. of Agriculture: 1-651-297-2223 <br /> • Ron Beaudry, Fuei Manager Beaudry Oil <br /> 1-763-633-1456 or 1-763-441-2383 <br /> ' • Beaudry Oil Company, Inc. <br /> ^ICilyJ311 cern <br /> • MN Dept. of Agriculture online: <br /> ' v,'ww rncla state me us!a(lis/biodie_sellundate iltm <br /> • MN State Legislature online: <br /> • 1,1�.,;"�`J �;.,".i i�l)Ila739,77 <br /> The American Lung Association online. <br /> v ,:�'✓ clean !rchnice {.arc/outdoor <br /> Thank you for taking the time to read this important update.
