Country’s first soy fuel-injection facility opens in Pa.

A fuel-blending facility that is up and running in Pennsylvania is the first in the nation that can inject soy-based additives into diesel or other fuels before they are put into tanker trucks, officials said Friday.

Fuel marketers typically combine soy-based additives with diesel or heating oil in tanker trucks by “sloshing” them together. The new facility is more efficient, blending the fuels before they reach the pump, and spares marketers from having to buy and store the additives, which are also known as biodiesel.
