Find Biodiesel with a Phone Call
by Collin Dunn, Corvallis, OR, USA on 08.29.06
Driving across the country, and want biodiesel in western Kentucky? How about northern California? With demand for biodiesel continuing to increase, the National Biodiesel Board has launched a toll-free hotline to help truckers and motorists find retail pumps anywhere in the US. The Biodiesel Hotline, at 866-BIODIESEL (866-246-3437), is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with staff that has access to mapping software linked to a nationwide database of biodiesel stations. The same information can be found on biodiesel.org, but many people on the road don't have ready access to the internet; the toll-free hotline makes it easier than ever to find a place to fill up on biodiesel. ::National Biodiesel Board via ::AutoblogGreen
I think its terrific that biodiesel is concentrated in the grain belt. The "flyover zone" is greener than the coasts in this regard, obviously. No reason it can't stay that way. One size need not fit all.
This is great! Just from the graphic alone, things look better than I thought. I had no idea there was so many pumps out there.
I built a Google Maps Mashup to help find the retail biodiesel pumps in Portland, Oregon and surrounding metro area.

It has some pumps and sites that are not in the national biodiesel database.
I am sure that their are local pumps that are open but not in the national database - just about everywhere...
