Oil heat customers in Southern Oregon now have a choice between foreign petroleum and domestically produced biodiesel blends for staying warm in the winter. Completely compatible with most oil heat systems, blends as low as B5 (5% biodiesel), and up to B20 (20% biodiesel) can be delivered to consumer’s doorsteps for the same price as #2 Ultra-Low Sulfur Heating Oil. With diesel prices on a constant climb, and biodiesel blends becoming price competitive, anyone on a budget or wanting to promote energy independence can enjoy the consistent and efficient warmth provided by traditional oil heaters running on a biodiesel blend.
Medford Fuel has partnered with Rising Phoenix Biofuels ( www.oregonb99.com ) to be Southern Oregon’s first biodiesel home heating delivery option. According to Renovation Northwest magazine and Molly Brady of OregonOilheat.com, "Because of their high efficiency and cleanliness, modern oil heat systems have an amazingly small impact on the environment”. Adds Brady, "Best of all, they are fully compatible with biodiesel. No modifications need to be made to existing oil heat equipment."
Biodiesel heating oil is a well-tested and renewable fuel made from vegetable oils like soy, canola, and even algae grown right here in America. The next time you fill your heating oil tank, why not choose the American fuel? Biodiesel blends are ASTM certified under strict national standards, and more information and distributors can be found at www.biodiesel.org.
David Tourzan, Rising Phoenix Manager, is overjoyed to have found a reliable business partner, “Medford Fuel has a long history in the Rogue Valley and is a family-owned and operated business much like ours.” As their delivery truck pulls away he continues, “With the price being competitive and the blends being compatible with existing equipment, this fuel is an obvious choice for anyone concerned about the American economy and energy independence. We can all help improve our children’s future by simple choices of fuel blends.”

Re: Biodiesel Heating Oil Available for First Time in Southern Oregon - Rising Phoenix Biofuels
Tue, November 13, 2007 - 2:41 AMDoes Oregon have laws in effect that prohibit the sale of #1 diesel or off-road [red] diesel as heating fuel and is their any concern for summertime storage and fuel stability in the tanks? -

Re: Biodiesel Heating Oil Available for First Time in Southern Oregon - Rising Phoenix Biofuels
Wed, November 14, 2007 - 2:15 PMYeah, #1 diesel is basically kerosene and being phased out. It is not what is used for home heating (at least that's my understanding). I don't think it is prohibited, but certainly not recommended by Heating Oil guys in Oregon due to the high sulfur content. The #2 Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel sold for home heating is dyed red, and can also be used for off-road vehicles like tractors and other equipment. Biodiesel in Oregon is not currently dyed so when sold off-road we have to take down people's information and they are responsible for using for intended off-road purposes. It is 50 cents cheaper when off-road, and at our station as long as we don't pump it into people's cars, and they sign the State forms, they can take it home and it is out of our hands beyond that. Hope that helps.
Fuel stability should be about 6 months for B20, and maybe 3 months for B99.9 (which is what we sell at Rising Phoenix) or B100. We have a heated 6,000 gallon tank and it never lasts more than a month, but once it gets to people's homes they have to make sure they get pretty empty before refilling or risk having the bottom of the fuel be really old by the 3rd or 4th fill.
