E20 Fuel
In 2006, the University of Minnesota began testing a portion of its non-E85 fleet to run on E20, a new fuel proposed by the State of Minnesota that is 20 percent ethanol and 80 percent unleaded gasoline. Converting tanks to E20 will cut pumping of fuel from 20,000 gallons to 8,000 gallons annually. The University also began buying bio-diesel fuel, B20, in May of 2006 which utilizes soybeans and waste cooking grease within 20 percent of the fuel. |
