Fill Up On The Fuel Of The Future

The fuel of the future is here today. Biodiesel is America’s fastest-growing alternative fuel and one of the most thoroughly tested. More than 600 filling stations nationwide offer biodiesel to the public. John Ray & Sons is one of them.

We recently opened one of New York’s first retail biodiesel pump at our 2900 Sixth Avenue location in Troy. We offer a B20 fuel mix -- a blend of 20% pure biodiesel and 80% traditional petrodiesel – which has been approved for use in diesel engines with few or no modifications to the engine or fuel system. We offer a B5 blend for winter use.

We purchase our fuel-grade biodiesel from certified companies that produce to strict industry specifications to insure proper performance. Many of our customers have also begun to use this alternative fuel in their fleets. More than 600 fleets nationwide use biodiesel, including all branches of the US military, Yellowstone National Park, NASA, and more than 100 school districts.

Why Biodiesel Is Better

Biodiesel is a clean-burning alternative fuel that is produced by removing glycerin from natural oil, such as soybean oil. Our fuel-grade biodiesel blend is proven to produce lower carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions compared to petroleum diesel.

Biodiesel is also biodegradable and nontoxic, making it even better for the environment. And because it’s made from domestic, renewable resources, it reduces our dependence on foreign oil. No wonder it’s America’s fastest-growing alternative fuel. Fill up with biodiesel at 2900 Sixth Avenue in Troy. It’s definitely worth the trip.
