Dear Mr. Ford:

I am writing you to urge Ford Motor Company to demonstrate support for biodiesel, an environmentally responsible, domestically produced alternative fuel, and issue a clear position statement that supports customers who want to use a 20% blend (B20) of biodiesel in their diesel-powered vehicles.

I recently purchased a (Model Year) (Model Name), and I want to use B20 to fuel my vehicle. Ford’s support – or lack of support – for biodiesel will definitely affect my future purchase considerations.

Biodiesel is a cleaner burning alternative to petroleum-based diesel, and it is made from renewable resources, like soybeans and other natural fats and oils, grown right here in the United States. Every gallon of biodiesel we use will be one less gallon we need to import from the Middle East, and energy security is inseparable from national security. In addition, biodiesel can help protect the environment by reducing particulate, hydrocarbon, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions.

Biodiesel is not an experimental fuel. The American Society of Testing and Materials has issued a full specification for biodiesel, ASTM D 6751. During the last 10 years, biodiesel has been tested in virtually every diesel engine type and application resulting in more than 60 million successful road miles and countless marine and off-road hours. After its own extensive tests, the Department of Defense issued a policy guidance letter encouraging the use of B20 in military vehicles.

I encourage Ford to demonstrate a commitment to the environment and the U.S. economy by issuing a public statement encouraging (Diesel Vehicle Model) owners to use B20 in their diesel-powered vehicles.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide this input.

Sincerely,

(Your Name)
(Title)
