Ran into this article in the July 2006 issue of Biodiesel Magazine and thought I'd share. Apologies in advance if it's a repost.

Thanks for the link. I'm glad to see this happening. The only people who are holding it up are the people that's making a killing off current diesel fuel and gas prices.

Since the NH and Case lines are effectively identical would this apply to them as well? I poked around the Case site but didnt find anything about it.

I think it is a repeat but it deserves to be kept in the forefront. New Holland I believe originally sent out a press release on May 17 regarding this. There are actually some tests going on right now regarding running B100 in some New Holland engines. I am currently involved in the planning for building a 25 million gallon a year biodiesel plant in Rhode Island.

All right!! Sweet!! the dealers endorsement!

There a place in Oregon called Pheonix Organics. They have the first Bio diesel pull up self pump gas station in OR and they run a 2004 40HP NH on bio diesel from day one and haven't had a problem.

Do you run bio diesel in any of you machines?
Rhode Island Bio-Diesel is that Recycled or Virgin Bio?
If Virgin are they shipping or trucking or?
Sounds Great!

The other day I was filling my 5 gallon jugs with diesel at the local Kroger and a sign on the pump read "WARNING Federal law prohibits using this fuel in 2007 or later vehicles"

Any idea what this is all about? I guess according to the article (page 2) it might not meet the future EPA standards.

Take a look at this EPA page for an explanation:

For anyone interested here's the stmt by Case for their line of tractors. Since much of the NH and Case lines are identical it could be of interest here.

Well, it's only B20. That's hardly a ringing endorsement for bio diesel. Heck, B20 doesn't even smell that great. I want that sweet-smelling B100 NOW!!!

True B20 is quazi, but hey its better than nothing!

If they approved B20, than 100 is right around the bend and yes ya can run100% in your Have Blue! Go out and put it in if ya want it its around you just gotta find it.

I know several peolple that run several different brands of tractors with straight up 100% Trucks Ford,dodge... cars well..lots As well as 100% grease

Any endorsement from any large Multi National Corporation, Touting Renewable energy or Global Awareness is Sweet! These corps take Baby steps so you know it's gonna be a slow one to the mainstream.
