Blue Sun Biodiesel Introduces 'Blue Sun Fusion' Biodiesel Fuel

Date Posted: November 8, 2006

Denver, CO -- Blue Sun Biodiesel Nov. 7 launched a new and improved biodiesel fuel Blue Sun Fusion.

According to a multi-year market research effort conducted by Blue Sun, the U.S. biodiesel industry continues to produce inferior biodiesel resulting in problematic fuel blends.

Blue Sun estimates that more than 60% of the biodiesel produced in the U.S. today, does not meet minimum ASTM specifications.

To address these quality issues, Fusion's market-driven formula goes well beyond ASTM specifications to guarantee consumers superior performance.

Over the past two years, federal and state government incentives and mandates have attracted new companies and capital investment in biodiesel production facilities, more than tripling the number of plants in the U.S.

Many of these production facilities utilize unproven and low-capital-cost technologies that struggle to meet even ASTM standards.

As a result, biodiesel fuel blends have caused significant performance problems, such as vehicle shutdowns from filter plugging.

It has also been determined that ASTM certified biodiesel does not ensure product performance.

Blue Sun Fusion is the result of a culmination of four years of market research and product development, including hundreds of independent lab tests and more than 300 million miles of performance data.

Fusion is produced through a technologically advanced process that fuses premium ingredients, including certified Blue Sun B100 and a proprietary additive.

The result is a superior alternative diesel fuel which increases fuel economy and horsepower, reduces NOx emissions, and offers superior cold weather performance.

Fusion contains 20% biodiesel, so it also meets EPA alternative fuel standards.
