B5 Story

[RalphVa]

Anyone in the industry who knows what has happened to B5?

The local Exxon station has dropped it. I liked it because I think the 5% bio probably kept my tanks cleaned out.

All the diesel pumps in this area had the B5 sticker on them but they have all been removed. Wondered about it myself.

Yep. We had a bio plant 3.5 miles from my home. Closed 3 years ago and now is the subject of the states largest fraud investigation.

Food for fuel was a bad idea from the start.

A lesson that Minnesota hasn't learned with its B10 mandate: Minnesota raises biodiesel requirement to 10 percent | Albert Lea Tribune.

The Exxon station had 2 pumps at the passenger diesel area, a pair on each side. One was regular diesel. The other was B5. Now, they've eliminated the B5 and replaced it with non-ethanol gasoline.
