BioDiesel Refueling Station, Public - credit card after hours. 410 Beacham Street, Chelsea MA 02150. 800-289-2875.

For over 40 years, Dennis K. Burke, Inc. has been reliably delivering premium diesel fuel, motor oil and gasoline to fleets and industry throughout the Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Rhode Island area.

While Detroit offers several variations of new Alternative Fuel Vehicles (AFV) that average over 50 miles to the gallon, independent fuel marketers are introducing "Biodiesel," a healthier, renewable energy solution that seems to be meeting just about everyone's approval. The Burke Gas Station on Beacham Street in Chelsea is the first station in the state of Massachusetts to offer biodiesel products Biodiesel B20 at the pump and Biodiesel B100 in drums and pails.

Biodiesel is a clean, diesel fuel substitute made from soybeans, canola, and recycled cooking oil from restaurants. It can be burned safely in any standard, unmodified diesel engine, either in pure form (B100) or in a 20% blend (B20) with 80% petroleum diesel. Most truck manufacturers recommend using B20 in their engines. Pure biodiesel is completely biodegradable, and poses minimal concerns to soil and water contamination. Biodiesel is also non-toxic to plants, animals and humans. On the performance side, biodiesel's higher cetane rating results in excellent engine performance and fuel economy. Biodiesel has outstanding lubricity characteristics. Blend ratios as low as 1% can provide up to 30% more lubricity over conventional diesel fuel. And a higher flash point means it's safer to handle.

As one of New England's largest suppliers of diesel fuel, gasoline and motor oil products, Dennis K. Burke is proud to be first in bringing biodiesel to Massachusetts.
