Sales of all B100 biodiesel are about to be banned in California, on the technicality that the biodiesel specification, ASTM D-6751, is technically entitled a biodiesel 'blendstock' specification (a standalone spec for B100 does not yet exist although ASTM is just beginning the lengthy process of producing one). The argument is that biodiesel is not a legal fuel on it's own. This argument came mostly from Chevron, Western States Petroleum Association, Engine Manufacturers Association, and the Alliance of Automotive Manufacturers, all of whom have been actively campaigning against biodiesel in other venues. This ban requires all blends of Biodiesel and diesel to meet the diesel specification. This means that blends as low as 6% biodiesel will be banned, and much B20 (and all B100) will also be banned. We have about a month and a half to do something about this. Here's the strategy page- please go to" http://forums.biodieselnow.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2110 and read all pages of that thread for an update on the upcoming ban on B100 biodiesel in this state.
