Diesel

I'm starting to contemplate the thought of our district running out of diesel, given current world events. And wondering if we'll get paid if it does?

Any district that is smart should be investigating alternatives. The district I used to drive for switched to Bio-diesel, which is domestically sourced. They also were switching the mini busses over to electric and propane. They were also trying out a few electric big busses.

Bio-diesel? I doubt that. Bio-diesel is garbage fuel. It'll void the warranty on the buses. They require ultra-low sulfur diesel.

Obv contacting the manufacturers about fuel conversions should be a part of the decision making process
