Propel Fuels Introduces B20 Biodiesel in Sacramento
Company responds to consumer demand for higher blends of renewable fuels, at affordable price
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (June 2, 2011) - Propel Fuels (www.propelfuels.com), a leading retailer of clean, renewable fuels, today began selling B20 biodiesel at two of the company’s Sacramento area stations in an effort to bring increasingly sustainable fuels to California’s drivers. Propel’s B20 is a blend of 20 percent premium-quality, American made biodiesel and of 80 percent petro-diesel, providing increased performance, longer engine life and reduced emissions. Propel is adding B20 to locations in Roseville and in Sacramento on Folsom Boulevard in response to growing consumer demand for higher blends of renewable fuels.
“As high fuel prices force drivers to think about what they put in their tanks, we are proud to offer a higher blend of biodiesel that provides premium performance and guaranteed quality at no additional cost,” said Matt Horton, CEO of Propel. “By providing a new choice at the pump, we are enabling Sacramento’s drivers to be part of the solution, making progress towards reducing carbon emissions and our nation’s dependence on imported oil.”
Sourced from recycled vegetable oils, Propel’s B20 provides significant performance and efficiency benefits to diesel engines, reduces harmful emissions, and is compatible with current diesel vehicles. Auto manufacturers are now producing more diesel vehicles which are fully compatible with B20, including all 2011 GM and Ford diesel vehicles and Cummins engines. Propel has sold B20 in Washington State since 2007, with a very positive response from consumers. For more information on Propel’s B20, visit: http://www.propelfuels.com/content/about_b20.
Propel is now selling B20 at its Sacramento - Folsom Boulevard (8090 Folsom Boulevard) and Roseville (999 Sunrise Avenue) locations.
