Finding Dr Dans Alternative Fuel Werks
July 2
First Biodiesel at the Pump
On my way to find bio-diesel, a little Jetta 03 pulled in front of me and with a big surprise a biodiesel sticker was on the trunk so I started following the guy around to ask his some questions and made it.
Ryan Daudestel is a student in Engineering that believes in a sustainable relationship with his car, the environment and the economy. So he gave me direction to go meet Dr Dan, someone who has biodiesel at the pump!
Dr Dan (Dan Freeman) is a man with a lot of knowledge. He explained to me in details why sediments and junk clog my fuel filter. Diesel is considered as high sulfur in it. So when you switch to biodiesel who is considered as ultra low sulfur diesel, it has a solvent effect so that’s why it’s moving out sediments out of my tank to my fuel filter.
Because of the high sulfur in diesel, there’s apparently a law stating that there will be no more diesel car made by 2007. The Environment Protection Agency says that the petrol diesel is not clean enough anymore for the environment. It causes acid rain! In 1977 the law decided no more lead gasoline will be produce because it caused brain damage…well now it’s I think it’s time for petrol diesel to move on to biodiesel.
Dan Freeman opened his alternative fuel werks 5 years ago. His bio-diesel fuel comes from a farmers’ owned coop in Ohio. They make it from Soya been oil. An average, Dan has 3,500 people coming to his garage to fill up there tank.

Biodiesel is:
-Non toxic
-Biodegradable
-100% renewable and domestic
-Reduce greenhouse emission
-Support local farming communities
