But, while Willie Nelson may be going broke pedaling his BioWillie like a traveling medicine man in the Old West, other vendors are starting to prosper.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, while BioWillie facilities have been closing, a number of other distributors have been opening across the U. S. landscape. A robust list of biodiesel fueling sites and map may be found through the Biodiesel.org website.<\/p>\n<p>Also, if you don\u2019t wish to drive your diesel vehicle to the nearest fueling station or have grown tired of circling the nearest fast food restaurant hoping to get a fresh batch of French fry oil there is another option. Some companies like OC Biodiesel will deliver 5 gallon containers or 55 gallon drums right to your doorstep.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the biodiesel vendors are even starting to offer blends that combine a percentage of biodiesel with petroleum such as B20 (20-percent biodiesel and 80-percent petroleum). The U. S. Department of Energy is predicting a 2000-percent growth of the use of biodiesel over the next 5 years.<\/p>\n<p>With any luck, perhaps Willie Nelson will be able to stick it out that long, turn that frown upside down and finally turn a profit from the renewed interest in renewable biodiesel fuel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Biodiesel is making a comeback as many people have a renewed interest in cleaning up the environment and ending our dependence upon foreign fossil fuels.
