Biodiesel in Newcastle

Post by HotFourOk »

Hey guys and gals,

I was reading on here a while ago about Biodiesel suppliers around Newcastle and how you were searching for who has it and whatnot.

I went to Caltex Elermore Vale tonight and on the pump it says the fuel contains up to 2% Biodiesel.

I'm going to give it a try.. although 2% doesn't seem much at all... It isn't much cheaper, but at least its a start with mainstream service stations getting it in.

I'll keep you posted on any more news :D

Are there any other places around stocking it?

2 percent seems like a waste of time. but if it's cheaper who cares? must be a recent thing as i was there only a couple of weeks ago. the only other place i know that has bio on pump is the bogas at hexam which is 5 percent bio. There's also the factory at rutherford, but both of these places aren't very convinient (for me)

Yeah, they only got it put on Yesterday.. No harm in trying it though, but i think there will be negligible difference being 2%.

Yeah i thought that the hexham Bogas had it, but any gains in economy would be lost by driving there just to get it ;) I don't drive past it either

Yep, Caltex Are distributing Fuel with 2% Biodiesel around the hunter, as far south as the Central Coast. It's selling along side straight Diesel, so you have the choice to use it or not. No plans yet to distribute it further. (But they will)
