Sinclair BioDiesel in Las Vegas Question
Sinclair is the only retailer that sell biodiesel here in Las Vegas. They used to mark their pumps B5 and stated that their blend was 5% biodiesel - makes sense, right?
Now, a new station opened up right around the corner for me and the pumps for diesel are marked B2. On opening day I asked one of the employees if she knew what the percentage was. She didn't but she did call one of the owners of the station who told her it was 30% biodiesel. That does not make any sense to me.
Anyone know about what percentage Sinclair is selling either in Vegas or anywhere else; presumably they would all be the same.
I cannot imagine they would sell just a 2% mix especially when they charge 30 more cents than the cheapest diesel in town.

Yeah, it makes more sense that it is only 2%.
I live fairly close to the 215/Rainbow Sinclair and I have to travel that route every once in a while; guess I'll just wait to fill up when I drive by there.
Thanks for the response. By the way I just bought an AutoEnginuity scanner and Enhanced Ford software so if any Vegas Powerstroke owners need a scan, I think we can work something out. Cheers

It's funny I pass right by a Chevron Station to get to the Sinclair Station. They are both right around the same price but even if the Chevron is lower on occasion I still fill up at the Sinclair Station. B2 and Domestic.... you can beat it!!

I wonder how we can get Sinclair to increase the percentage of the biodiesel? Probably cannot since it is always a question of profit. I read recently about a company that was new to Vegas that was in the process of building a biodiesel manufacturing plant right here in town. They stated that they had a line on WVO that involved railroad tanker's full of the stuff.
I will keep trying to use biodiesel in my 7.3 as long as I am able to find it.
