Bio-Diesel. The Van Manen Petroleum Group was one of the first distributors to offer Soy Bio-Diesel to its customers in West Michigan. Blended to strict industry specifications (ASTM D6751), B20 (20% soy, 80% petroleum diesel) can be bought at our Fuel Management System site at 2400 Turner Ave in Grand Rapids, MI.  We also have  SoyDiesel at our headquarters in Standale, MI and deliver it in bulk to many of our customers.  We have the capability of blending any percentage of SoyDiesel from B2, B5, B10...B20.

Here are a few suggestions and PRECAUTIONS to take when making the switch to Soy Bio-Diesel:

  • Make sure you buy BioDiesel from a reputable source like VMPG.
  • Buy fuel that is already blended.  This ensures that the BioDiesel has been properly treated for climatic needs - especially true in Michigan winters. BioDiesel is a cleaning agent, which means petroleum deposits may end up in the fuel filter until the system is clean. 
  • Stick to your regular maintenance schedule, unless your vehicle feels sluggish when accelerating.  This is a symptom of a plugged filter and should be checked and changed immediately.
