The other day, the Lake County Record-Bee did a feature on one of our customers, Epidendio Construction, and their use of biodiesel. From the article:

"There is a 20 to 30 percent reduction in exhaust with bio-fuel," he said. "It's solvent-based so it helps clean all the build-up in the engine and it's cleaner for the environment with the types of emissions it releases."

Anthony Epidendio added that hazards are eliminated when it comes to fuel spills as well. "Any kind of fuel spill it's bio-degradable. Just let it evaporate and there are no toxins," he explained.

The transition to bio-diesel was simple, he said. The fuel can be used in any diesel engine with little or no modifications needed at all. It can also be "splash-blended" with regular diesel in any proportion.

Epidendio Construction is obtaining its bio-diesel product through Yokayo Biofuels, of Ukiah.
