[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1496256, member: 14668"] Yes but the gas engines are so much cheaper to build (and replace) than diesels that the company still saves money in the long run. The new generation of diesel engines (post 2007) are required to have costly and complicated DPF's (Diesel Particulate Filters) that render them unsuitable for use with biodiesel. How convenient for the oil companies. Ideally, this requirement would be eliminated for fleets (like UPS) that agree to [I]only[/I] use biodiesel. I'm not holding my breath, though. [/QUOTE]
