MoDOT DRIVES BIODIESEL USE IN MISSOURI

The Missouri Department of Transportation began using B20 in about 600 diesel vehicles and pieces of equipment in the spring of 2001. Department vehicles now running on B20 include: motor graders, dump trucks, off-road vehicles, high lifts, and pull-behind message boards.

Mark Warren, MoDOT mechanic supervisor, says biodiesel was an easy choice for MoDOT.

"We like biodiesel because as a fuel it has excellent lubricating qualities, and the emissions are much better than with diesel fuel," he said. "But ease of use was another factor in our decision; the fact that we could just put it in without any concerns. It was a transparent change."
