5/15/08 (NEWS) - Mastercraft Exteriors is looking into alternative fuels to power their trucks After a brief interview with the VP of Mastercraft Exteriors, I was elated when I heard not only are they improving on the discarding of shingles but they are also looking into alternative fuels for their trucks. Mastercraft Exteriors, a roofing, siding and gutters company with 25 locations in the US, is very active in the search to be more environmentally conscious. "It is a goal of mine to lessen our carbon footprint dramatically by the year 2012", said the VP of Marketing/Administrations at Mastercraft Exteriors. One way that they think they can achieve this goal is by powering their trucks with alternative fuel. Most of the Mastercraft Exteriors trucks are diesel trucks. "The one option that we are looking into is Biodiesel. We believe over the next 4 years there will be a substantial increase in the choices for Biodiesel". Earth BioFuels, Inc. states, "Biodiesel is a renewable fuel manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled cooking oils. Biodiesel offers many advantages: * It is renewable. * It is energy efficient. * It displaces petroleum derived diesel fuel. * It can be used in most diesel equipment with no or only minor modifications. * It can reduce global warming gas emissions. * It can reduce tailpipe emissions, including air toxics. * It is nontoxic, biodegradable, and suitable for sensitive environments. * It is made in the United States from either agricultural or recycled resources. * It can be easy to use if you follow these guidelines. Biodiesel can be used in several different ways. You can use 1% to 2% biodiesel as a lubricity additive, which could be especially important for ultra low sulfur diesel fuels (ULSD, less than 15 ppm sulfur), which may have poor lubricating properties. You can blend 20% biodiesel with 80% diesel fuel (B20) for use in most applications that use diesel fuel. You can even use it in its pure form (B100) if you take proper precautions. The Mastercraft Exteriors staff realizes that it is up to them to help encourage change in their industry. Mastercraft Exteriors http://www.mastercraftexteriors.com (877) ROOFS-02 ###
