Some contractors might already be using it. Minnesota mandated it's use last year. The following is some good background information on biodiesel.

I have two excavators that are powered by vegetable fuels. Jaime and Oscar. :)Seriously though, I would love to get some info on biodiesel use in heavy machines.

I guess this will be my assignment for the week. I received an e-mail from somebody who is running a Caterpillar 3406E engine with 50%Hysee Biodiesel and 50% straight diesel.
I have also worked on projects where they replaced the hydraulic fluid with vegetable oil. That way if you spring a leak the site doesn't become a Superfund,

I haven't yet. I know that there is a small excavator that runs on electrical. It's not much of one.

Are any of you guys aware of any excavators or other heavy equipment running on alternative fuels?
