The government and the EPA can't even coordinate which end of the dog to

sources of energy the EPA is still rolling ahead with the 2007 diesel specs
and the ultra low sulfur fuel. ULSF had less energy so that will affect
everyone when it shows up around June 1 and will cost more also. Biodiesel
is a no-no in the 2007 emission systems because the particulate trap will be
damaged and that could be very $$$.

IMO,They have to design an *engine* for Bio Diesel,not design a Bio
Diesel for all available Engines, because at this point in time,it's
not going to work.:-)
