On the last long weekend we filled up at the Lickman Road Flying J Shell Cardlock in Chilliwack at 88 cents/ litre. Anyone can fill up with regular diesel there, just register at the office first.
In Vancouver, there is another Flying J Cardlock at Boundary and Marine Way. You can also pay at the pump for diesel with your credit card. I don’t think they have Biodiesel, but the regular petroleum diesel was cheaper than other stations in the city. The posted price is for cash, but the price is 2 cents higher for credit cards. Flying J Cardlocks are also found in New Westminster, Annacis Island, Abbotsford, Merritt, Williams Lake, Vernon, and a few other more northern locations as well. Down in the States, there is a huge network of Flying J locations with email services, showers, and lots of other conveniences.
In south Burnaby there is the Byrne Road Husky station that sells 3 kinds of Biodiesel: B5, B20, and B40. It’s a bit more expensive than the Flying J and also takes credit cards.

If you are using a high percentage biodiesel, check first with Cascadia Biofuels. Call Curtis at 604 581 3211. High levels of biodiesel can harm some rubber and Nitrile seals in fuel pumps in older vehicles. Also, high % biodiesel can form high sediment levels when in contact with brass, bronze, copper, lead, tin, and zinc. Changing fuel filters becomes more important. Vehicles in storage may require a stability additive.
Anybody out there have something to say about this?
