Seems that Bio Diesel suppliers here in the direct Dallas area has been coming up shorter and shorter recently with the pullout of Bio Willie from their locations in Anna,Dallas and Forney.

Next closest stop for us is in Wilmer off of 45 at Big Daddys(confirmed by phone this morning) which is the lone hold out for Bio Willie.

Any word on whats up with Bio Willies and their website not being accessable?

that really is getting depressing. think maybe big oil is shutting em down or the regulatory process. I think most folks dont care to use alternate fuel sources, there are not main stream and the american mind forgets things to quick like 3.14 a gallon for #2.

whatch this summer when fuel jumps back skyward, it will be "why arent we doing something"
i just finshed my taxes :eek: , I am going to buy a solar array for my roof, big credit and a hydrogen fuel cell to power the fishing shack.

oh where is big daddys, i have t go to waxahachie in the morning????

the site is up at the moment - http://www.biowillieusa.com/index.php

you are right about the locations but they do not offer any comment on it.

Bill - we are focusing our house search on the Murphy area so you and I will start talking again soon . . .

As I see it Bio Willie's plan on selling B20 was an idea ahead of its time. With all the new diesels in Texas, using B20 may void their warranties as it's over the maximum blend of B5 endorsed by Ford and others. No wonder sales are down and stations are droping the product.

Yes, they are rebuilding "Carl's Corner" and I believe it may become "Willie's Place" or something. That used to be my normal stop when headed south, but it is closed during construction. They even carried B99, though they were always out when I stopped. We'll see what happens when they re-open.

I pulled off there the other morning to look it over, that will be a nice place. Don't know when they plan on reopening it, but would like to stop there on my way back home in med April.
