[Biodiesel In Utah] New to BioDiesel

[Mike Mattfeldt]

Hello Mitch,

I have a 2003 VW Jetta TDI That I bought 1 year ago that I'm going to sell.
It has 59k on it and I have been running B20 for most of the summer with no
problems. I switched to petro in November just as a precaution to the cold
mornings.
If you may be interested drop a line.
