Major Fire Erupts at Biodiesel Manufacturing Site

Salem-News.Com Major Fire Erupts at Biodiesel Manufacturing Site

The bad news is another biodiesel manufacturer had a major fire.
The good news is the fire dept. did correctly conclude that as it was actual biodiesel involved it is non-toxic and biodegradable. What often confuses saftey people is that petro diesel blended with boidiesel is still often called biodiesel (sometimes even petro blended with vegetable oil is).

Maybe we should call blends denatured biodiesel to clearup the confusion.

Note: Bay Area Biofuel also had a fire at our production facility some time ago an electric clothes dryer caught on fire.
