Comment
Since biodiesel is far less polluting than diesel, I feel a good
solution would be to require construction and farm diesel
operators to either install emissions equipment or use biodiesel
instead of diesel which may require a cheaper fuel line retrofit.
My preference would be to install both the emissions equipment and
use biodiesel (B99 or B100). This would definitely make a huge
impact on diesel particulate emissions but biodiesel use alone
would greatly impact air quality. No biodiesel available in your
area? That is something that needs work because oil companies are
denying some fuel station owners the right to sell biodiesel. If
there is anything the Air Resources Board can do to help this,
please do so. I made the switch to biodiesel which I use in my BMW
thanks to the owner of a private fuel station. As of yet, no
commercial stations are allowed to carry biodiesel.
