Effective May 1, 2018 the minimum biodiesel content level in Diesel Fuel sold in Minnesota for combustion engines is increasing to 20 %. This is determined by the Minnesota statute 239.77 Biodiesel Content mandate. Here is a quick overview of the B20 mandate:
April 1 through April 30, 2018: all # 2 diesel fuel sold for combustion engines must contain at least 10 % biodiesel.
Starting May 1, 2018 through Sept. 30, 2018: all # 2 diesel sold for combustion engines must contain a minimum of 20 % biodiesel.
Oct. 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019: all # 2 diesel fuel sold for combustion engines must contain at least 5 % biodiesel. The amount of biodiesel required in a blend of # 1 / # 2 diesel will depend upon the blend ratio of the two products. # 1 diesel fuel at this time is exempt from blending with biodiesel yearround until further notice.
April 1 through Sept. 30, 2019: all # 2 diesel fuel sold for combustion engines during this time must contain a minimum of 20 % biodiesel.
At Mid-County, we have the capabilities of blending higher blends of biodiesel if you so choose. If you have questions on this mandate or higher blends of biodiesel, please give me a call. We also have our Lubricants and Equipment sale going on until March 31st. If you are looking for a new pump, tank, or a certain oil or grease, give us a call. Thank you for your business and
have a safe spring.
