where do you get the bio?


A local fuel supplier that I found in a search. I don't have their info
with me, and it wouldn't do any good unless you're in the Philly area,
anyway. (I have it at work, though.)

Among other things, they supply bio to construction sites. Expect
there's a charge for that, but I can show up and they'll fill my
container.

About a decade ago, there was a bio pump at the dock at Kent Narrows.
Unluckily, I learned about it the season after they shut it down. For a
while, I could get 1 and 5-gallon jugs of it at a few docks, but that
dried up.

I intend to ask for availability as I cruise around. Perhaps they'll
get the hint.

Which I am. I thought you were getting it on the Bay
somewhere.
