Is anybody out there? Just kidding, folks, I know Andrew reads this blog once in a while.
Mare Cromwell requested an update for Baltimore Biodiesel Cooperative members, so here it is:
The technical committee has requested K50B50 (soy) be sold as the winter blend.
Fuel liaison Mark Eckley was unable to secure this blend from McComas Fuel Company and had to go to Taylor Oil for the blend.
We'll be selling it Friday and Saturday, November 30 and December 1, 2007.
Price will reflect huge uptick in K1 and B100 prices: $4.30 per gallon.
See you out there at Mill Valley!
Renewal of membership dues is due as the anniversary date has passed... just a friendly reminder ;-))

K is shorthand for kerosene, aka diesel fuel #1.
Ours is ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel) and is really, really expensive.
Ultra-low sulfur diesel is what everyone sells and should be no more expensive than market price diesel price
I'll look into it. Chances of our supplier screwing us are non-zero. They're in it for the business and the bottom line. We can probably negotiate better.
ULSD1, or K1 clear is not the ULSD 'that everyone sells'. So why should it be the same price as ULSD that everyone sells?
Kerosene is more highly refined, so it costs more.
There's absolutely no argument here.
In 1988, under an edict of then President Clinton, a red dye was added to kerosene that was being used for home heating as that is not subject to federal highway excise tax. Truckers who add kerosene to diesel fuel must pay excise tax. The red dye kerosene is usually delivered in bulk quantities by a fuel oil dealer. Clear K-1 kerosene is often very difficult to find and of course, it costs more, sometimes as much as a $1 per gallon more.
