Greenearth Biodiesel are no longer supplying biodiesel in
Crediton.
Greenearth Biodiesel has launched biodiesel from waste
vegetable oil. It is suitable for any diesel-powered vehicle,
produces 76% per less carbon emissions and works out about 5p a
litre cheaper than normal diesel. The fuel is on sale to the public
on 9am -12noon on Saturday from Unit 4 Marsh End,
Lords Meadow. The plant has been set up by two brothers - Jonathon
and William Brown. "I believe we are the only commercial
manufacturers of bio-diesel in Devon. We quality test at every
stage of production to ensure our fuel is to the highest standard
so people can have real confidence in using this fuel
again."
The vegetable oil comes almost exclusively from the
Westcountry. Because it is an industrial unit, not a
garage forecourt the fuel is sold by the drum. People come
back and get the drums refilled.
"Bill Brown gave up his job at
Crediton Dairy to do something for the environment. He researched
Bio-fuel comprehensively. Bill now runs a one man operation on
Crediton trading estate, producing Bio-diesel and selling
it. The fuel that Bill produces is 75% less
polluting than normal diesel. Bill makes the fuel himself in
Crediton. Bill is ethical. He won't make bio-diesel from
sources such as corn which could be fed to people or animals. He
recycles once-used vegetable oil from a crisp manufacturer.The
equipment which Bill has assembled is second hand and
recycled.
I now use Bill's fuel in my car. At
first I was sceptical and used a mix with ordinary diesel. I now
use full bio-diesel. And no engine conversion was needed.
Bill's number is 07846 550034.
Ring him first to make sure he is selling rather than making fuel
at the time you want to try his fuel.
PS: Did I say that Bill's fuel if 5
pence a litre cheaper than normal diesel"

"Fuel is always for sale on
Sat from 9am to noon and at other times too if you call first.
I have been using it in an 8 year old Citroen Picasso for a month
on a 70/30 ratio with normal diesel with no problems whatsoever and
only slight reduction in MPG over normal diesel, which is
compensated for by the lower price."
