i posted yesterday about using b20 in our cars. i got quite a few responses (thanks btw) that it is fine to do. however, i cannot find it ANYWHERE in or around charlotte nc. all of the listings online point to a place right down the street from me that isn't even the bp anymore it's an exxon.

the closest place i found was loves travel center in ft mill sc, about 30 min away. when i called them they said they "blend" b99 with their diesel, but only on the truckstop side.

when i pulled up to the GIANT pumps, it was labelled #2 diesel and still carried the ULSD badge.

the tanker guy was there filling the underground tanks so i went over and asked him about their "bio blend" he said it factors out to be about b6-b10.

anyone in the area that knows for sure of a station that sells b20? or b99 or b100?

I'm all ears. Phillytwotank works in a biofuel plant in midland sc... too far away for regular fill ups but I'm thinking about making monthly runs to get 150 gallons in my truck tank...

i was just reading about that one. they offer a b100 5 gallon jug, but its $45!!!! i guess i would only use 2.5 gallons at a time mixed with pump diesel to keep it b20ish, but damn that's still expensive as hell!!!!

I'd check with philly for current prices, back in July when d2 was 4ish a gallon, he was under 3 and he gives credit for used motor oil and veggie oil...

There used to be a BP station on the very end of park rd behind the lowes that is on pineville-mathews rd that had B20 but its been years since i've even looked for a spot around charlotte. Maybe try this http://www.biodiesel.org/using-biodiesel/finding-biodiesel/retail-locations but i would definitely call ahead to find out if they're legit.

If that doesn't work out then we've got the stuff man! The good stuff!
