    I hope it will be better than the E85 fuel. I filled up my van once in the US and had an awful experience .Mileage was one half of what I was getting up till then Engine light came on Took several trips to the chevy dealer to get thing back to normal. It ended up being the exhaust censors hat were burnt out. The sign on back of van said it was made for E85 fuel. The van was still under warranty so there was no cost but a lot of pain trying to get them to fix it.Anyway never again.

        Was talking with a guy from UK, his dad had a trucking co over there, grew and ctushed his own CNL to make straight CNL oil and ran it 100% in his fleet. Also have heard of guys running SVO in cars here in summer. Maybe farmers need to spend a bit of check off $'s on this.

            I bet there’s some farmers on here making their own diesel
            My question is why in the hell aren’t our farm groups shouting this from the rooftops????
            It was made and done right in our little town a few years back
            Guy ran a Cummins diesel with it and no issues

              Another day, another renewable fuels scam. There have been so many. There were several that were going to do this in southern AB. A number of them had a sign on the road for years especially the one beside the McCain factory on hwy 3. So long as government was putting up grants they would generate press releases. Please would the madness stop. Got a CBD outfit scamming the Vegreville town council around here. Has any CBD been produced and sold in the past two years? Given that supplies of phosphate could well curtail agricultural productivity in canuckistan in the future, biodiesel is that last thing that governments should waste time on. They need to stop currency debasement and bring back budgetary sanity now.

                On the phosphate issue.
                Does anyone know if the phosphate is entirely recovered in the biodiesel process?
                Does it all end up in the animal feed byproducts, or could it be further separated out and reused economically?

                  The end product is chemically equivalent to conventional diesel and av fuel. Marathon oil procured a 3 year supply of soy and canola oil. The downfall is they need hydrogen in the cracking process, so every one of these plants will be located next door to a traditional refinery. Kiss deep fried food goodbye, along with margarine. This might make North America an importer of oilseeds, depending on how aggressive they get with the regulation. That ubi is not going to go very far with $4 gas and $3 diesel. Prepare to be robbed because on face value, we will be kings. Im looking into using futures contracts for delivery, it won't be for the faint of heart but i suspect the 3 lettered arm of govt will raise its evil head. There are zero issues with cold weather and pourability, it is a drop in equivalent of regular diesel.

                      There's another plant at Edmonton recently announced along with Great Falls, 2 currently operating in North Dakota, and an absolute behemoth in California by Marathon at Martinez,CA. The Regina, Edmonton and Great Falls facilities will each take a billion pounds of veg oil a year. Govt "green credits" are currently paying the oil cos $4 /gal and they are selling the"diesel" into the futures market at par to ULSD, ultra low sulphur diesel at $1.90~

                        I know
                        But better off blowing tax dollars on this than Chinese solar panels ?
                        Stays in the country?

                          Rack price for #2 ULSD is around $960/tonne at Saskatoon. (1175 liters/t)

                          Export values for Jan 21 for refined canola oil was 1350/tonne. Subsequent months are going higher. It would require more refining to burn in an engine.

                          If anyone is burning SVO in their HPCR diesel let us know how it's going...

                            Soyoil basis is at +2000 into W NoDak, equivalent of 75 cents. It's not even on offer for OND. It sounds like crushers are going to keep supplying food end users first, but there's a limit... do we want to eat or drive?

                              I listened to a guy on the radio earlier this winter from High River area that is almost in production mode, but waiting for government permits to make diesel from garbage. He says he can virtually eliminate landfills and can take pretty well any material other than contaminated soil. He said his cost of production is less than competing bio diesel from veg oil production. Now that would be a game changer if it were to be achieved on a large scale
