Biodiesel on Bainbridge Island
Biodiesel was available on Bainbridge Island in the past, but the station selling it is no longer doing so. If you are interested in working to re-establish a local source of biodiesel, you are not alone.
If you'd like to work on restoring this fuel option, please contact
