Earth Biofuels Now Providing Biowillie Biodiesel Along I-45 Corridor in Wilmer, Texas
20 July, 2006
DALLAS, TEXAS - Earth Biofuels, Inc. (OTCBB: EBOF.OB) today announces the availability of BioWillie, Willie Nelson’s brand of biodiesel, at the newly-opened Big Daddy’s General Store in Wilmer, Texas. Wilmer is located in South Dallas County near the intersection of Interstate-20 and Interstate-45.
Big Daddy’s General Store business partners Bill Hamm, Allan Clark, Sr. and Celeste Madrigal have converted a commercial fleet fueling depot to create the station. They have made substantial improvements to the property, including renovating the building into a convenience store and expanding the site entrances, making the station easily accessible for 18-wheeler trucks.
“We realized there was a demand for BioWillie among truckers traveling along this corridor so when we found the abandoned fueling depot on I-45 we couldn’t pass on the opportunity to provide customers with BioWillie,” said Bill Hamm, co-owner of Big Daddy’s General Store.
By partnering with Earth Biofuels, Big Daddy’s General Store is the first location to offer BioWillie to truckers traveling on Interstate-45 between Houston and Dallas as well as farmers living in the area. BioWillie is a premium B20 (20 percent biodiesel and 80 percent petroleum diesel) biodiesel fuel made from vegetable seeds, such as soybeans.
“In addition to truckers enjoying the benefits of BioWillie, many farmers use the fuel in their farm equipment and generators,” said Peter Bell, General Manager for Earth Biofuels fuel distribution. “Since it’s made from farm products, farmers often feel good about using BioWillie instead of straight petroleum diesel, and this new station offers a convenient location for obtaining biodiesel.”
