Fayetteville Planning Switch To Bio-Friendly Fuel
April 29, 2006 -- Fayetteville has begun the process to run its diesel fleet on a blended fuel that includes 20 percent biodiesel. Faced with the need to purchase fuel tanks for the city fleet, Mayor Dan Coody asked his staff to check into biodiesel. As it turns out, this is the right time to tool up for biodiesel, he said. The City Council Equipment Committee approved going out to bid on new fuel tanks and pumps that will be installed at the city’s fleet yard, with the blended fuel being pumped into city vehicles within the next six months, said David Bragg, director of fleet operations.
