Biodiesel is environmentally friendly and produced from various renewable sources (also known as feedstock), including plant oils (soybean), recycled cooking grease, and/or various animal fats.

This process produces two byproducts: methyl esters (biodiesel) and glycerin, which are then used in many products.

Exactly what I am worried about is the potentially HUGE variety of flood cars and trucks that will soon hit the market and be offered as super deals, you know, the kind that are too good to be true.

A good majority of our diesel repair customers pull boats when heading off for the summer so we thought some boating safety tips and reminders might be helpful before getting underway… Wearing a life vest helps ensure that you can survive a fall overboard.

But BAE Operations in Houston, Texas, has changed that by designing headers for Cummins and Power Stroke diesels. OC Diesel Shop has installed BAE headers on a number of its customers’ trucks.
