            National Biodiesel Board Issues Winter Weather Advisory  
                 

                    

                  Dear Andre,

                  The National Biodiesel Board (NBB) has issued a winter weather advisory for the nation. NBB made the decision in response to a national fuel quality testing project, co-funded by NBB and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, that found one-third of biodiesel samples pulled between Nov. 2005 and July 2006 did not meet specification standards for complete processing. That is the same issue that caused some filter clogging problems in Minnesota last year. Although fuel quality is always important, cold weather can amplify problems caused by "out-of-spec" fuel.

                  "Ensuring that consumers have a high level of confidence in the biodiesel they purchase is a top priority for the National Biodiesel Board and a key element for the industry's continued growth," said NBB Chief Executive Officer Joe Jobe. "As the industry ramps up to meet the vast increase in demand for biodiesel, this growth simply cannot occur at the expense of fuel quality."

                  Read the news release, National Biodiesel Board Issues Winter Weather Advisory, that describes the many efforts to ensure fuel quality and consumer confidence.

                  NBB offers many resources to assist in biodiesel fuel quality efforts.
