info= Pure Biodiesel Coming Very Soon!  We aim to have our first delivery of Pure 100% Biodiesel before the end of February and will let Networking Newsletter know as soon as we have a date. Avoid the queues and join up now! Membership is just £10 a year and covers up to three vehicles: your membership period won\'t start \'til you first buy fuel. Email us an we\'ll email you back a form. Alternatively you can join here when you fill up.  Why Basic 5? We already have and will continue to stock our Basic 5 fuel. Does 5% make a real environment difference? To understand the significance of the figure just imagine a 5% pay rise, or losing 5% of your body weight (7lbs if you are 10 stone). You could be reducing your dependence on petrochemicals by 5%. The lubricating qualities of Basic 5 can also prolong the life of your engine. 

How Much Biodiesel Can I Use?

Any diesel engine will run on Basic 5 without even affecting the warranty. Most vehicles made after 2000 (W reg and newer) and out of warranty will run on 30%, most vehicles made before 2000 (V reg and older) will run on 50%. Because we will have both 5% and 100% at our pumps you can mix any blend of fuel you need. Biodiesel mixes with mineral diesel in any ratio without causing problems so, if you are out of town and need to fill up at a different garage there is no need to worry.

Why Join?

In order to use the Pure 100 fuel (available later this month) you must be a member of our cooperative. The more members we have, the more fuel we can buy and the cheaper it will become. Membership brings several benefits including, access to advice and information regarding biodiesel use, compatibility and technical issues. Members also receive a member information pack, an attractive car window sticker that says \'I Run On - Green Gold Biodiesel\', and a discounted parts ordering service, for most car parts and consumables. Membership for voluntary organisations and not for profit companies is £15 per year and allows use of up to five vehicles and for businesses membership is £25 per year and allows use of up to to 10 vehicles.

Volunteer Opportunities

If you would like to volunteer at the filling station or help in any other way please get in touch. There are always a wide variety of jobs for volunteers ranging from in depth research to painting. Great for giving you a sense of achievement, getting to try out something you\'ve never done before and enhancing your CV. We have some very funky Green Gold Biodiesel postcards. If you would like some to hand out please ask.
