Public biofuels station open in Minden
Bently Biofuel is pumping biodiesel and ethanol to the masses through a full-service public fueling station in Minden.
The station is located on Buckeye Road, off U.S. 395. Gas vehicles can use the ethanol mix and any diesel vehicle can run on the various mixes of biodiesel to be sold at the pump. Normal business hours will be 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. The green service station was a dream of Minden business owner Don Bently, whose philosophy is to protect the environment by recycling and reusing materials, said Bently Biofuels general manager Carlo Luri last December. The station will be built “green” and sell healthy and environmentally conscious items, Luri said. “It’s been going well,” Luri said of the preparations to open. Bently Biofuels Company produces and sells biodiesel after recycling used restaurant oil at its plant off Buckeye Road. The fuel is nearly non-toxic and non-hazardous.
