SUNY College of Environmental Science & Forestry, Syracuse, New York: The College of Environmental Science & Forestry has been using B20 in about ten vehicles/equipment -- including trucks, loaders, a bobcat, a tractor, buses, and an air compressor -- for about five years.
Dale Plunkett, Motor Equipment Supervisor, says they have had “no problems at all and have been very pleased with biodiesel.” He says that sometimes their vehicles sit for a month or two in sub zero temperatures without being started once, “and they always start right up.” In addition, their loaders, and sometimes their dozer, are used for snow removal and have to be started up in the middle of the night during snowstorms. They have never had a problem.
