It's getting easier to fill up on biodiesel instead of diesel fuel. Blue Sun Biodiesel is working with its distributors to install more biodiesel retail pumps in the area. The latest location to offer premium Fusion B20 biodiesel is Green Brothers Oil Company at 5335 Harrison Street in Denver.

Conveniently located near the intersection of Vasquez and Colorado Boulevards, diesel drivers can easily fill up with higher cetane, lower polluting Blue Sun Fusion B20. Green Brothers Oil Company, established in 1946, has been the premier choice for petroleum and fuel distribution throughout the Front Range of Colorado for over 50 years.

Blue Sun Fusion is no longer available at Shoco Oil, but now is more conveniently located just a half mile south off Interstate 270.

The process of filling up with biodiesel is no different than with traditional diesel. According to the National Biodiesel Board, any diesel engine can run blends up to 20 percent biodiesel without modification and without voiding manufacturer warranties. With Blue Sun Fusion specifically, drivers have benefited from a 5 to10 percent increase in fuel economy and increased lubricity, which reduces engine wear.

Blue Sun Biodiesel's warranty provides added peace of mind. For drivers buying from any authorized retailer, if Blue Sun's fuel is proven to be the direct cause of damage to OEM-warranted fuel system materials, they will replace the damaged material at no cost to the driver.

Using Blue Sun Fusion B20 fuel, compared to regular petroleum diesel, reduces carbon monoxide 24%, hydrocarbons 29%, and nitrogen oxides 4%, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Hydrocarbons and particulates have been shown to cause asthma, lung cancer and chronic respiratory symptoms.
