"Diesel High Performance Renewable" fuel (NOT biodiesel,) is available in our area but was wondering
if anyone tried it and how their IDI motors handled it.
What I know is the Diesel HPR is non-petroleum diesel, and it's being rendered (made) in Singapore
then sent by tankers to San Fransisco, there are quite a few places selling it there. Recently HPR is
being shipped down to San Diego, we have two places selling it. Maybe someone in the Bay Area with
an IDI has been using it. A local fire department in our county has started to use it for their fleet of
diesels.
Of course on their website, Propel Fuels claims higher cetane, more torque/power, cleaner combustion,
70% smaller carbon footprint, and eventually with more business a lower price than regular diesel.

If this stuff pans out I can tell my Prius driving neighbors that they need to update their petroleum-burners
(On a more serious note our Governor has pushed a Bill through State Senate that encourages the
elimination of vehicles older than 20 years old, period, and all "gross polluters" (read "diesels.") The bill just
needs to get through State Congress to be enacted, ARRRRGH.) SEMA is lobbying heavily against it. Hoping
that my IDI van would qualify as an "alternative fuels" vehicle by using Diesel HPR, and avoid this State run
version of "cash for clunkers" which is against every one of my five vehicles I own...
Best regards,
George
