Announcing the first ever Austin Greaseup! (and seeking volunteers)

Posted on by

On Sunday, September 7th, from 4-8PM, at a location to be announced, there is a planned meeting of Austin vegetable oil fuel enthusiasts. If you have a vehicle converted to run on vegetable oil, we NEED you to attend. If you’re interested in converting your car, or just want to see a bunch of converted cars, this is your chance to see them all together. We also plan to have at least one diesel mechanic to answer questions about general maintenance and repairs, as well as the DieselGreen team to answer questions about conversions. 

We are still in the early planning stages and are looking for one or two volunteers to help put the event together – make flyers, take to our retail locations, set up food, etc. Anyone interested should contact Andrew Taft at 703-585-1578 or taftandrew@yahoo.com.

We hope to build momentum with this meeting, perhaps establish a Meetup group, and establish a real community of vegetable oil fuel users. Please forward this to any interested parties or email lists.

Thanks!

B100 now available at 6 locations across Austin!

Posted on by

Today, I am happy to announce a major expansion of our business!

We now have 6 locations across Austin – from Bastrop to Oak Hill, from Manchaca to the UT Campus, we’ve got you covered.

The price varies by retailer, but is in the $4.40 – $4.50 range. Please see our Station Locator page (opens in a new window) for complete information, including Google Map.

We are actively seeking partners to expand north – we need locations on 183 North (Lamar to Leander), and I-35 North (183 to Georgetown). For a $5000 investment, an existing business can add a turnkey biodiesel station. Contact me at 512-247-3835 for more info.

Also, I want to remind everyone that we have an Open House at our facility every Tuesday night from 7-10pm. We sell biodiesel (B100) and vegetable oil for 10 cents off retail price, answer questions about everything we do, and show the public how we are transforming Austin’s used cooking oil into biofuels. We often have 10-20 people show up, some with alternative fuel vehicles.

I’d like to thank the many people who we met at the Austin Green Living Show we attended and presented at. There are so many people in Austin interested in helping the environment, it really helps to know that what we are doing is appreciated!

One last note – we are seeking additional restaurant partners to collect oil from for our Fryer to Fuel program. If you own or operate a commercial kitchen, or know anyone who does, please contact us to get started. It’s a free program, and we also pay a finder’s fee. Contact us for more info.

As always, thanks for your support, and we look forward to reducing pollution, lowering our dependence on foreign oil, and helping Austin be the greenest city in Texas.
