  "There is a laundry list of advantages," says Brent Manning, vice president of Cape Fear Biofuels, a local co-op working to bring biodiesel to the Wilmington market."The key, first off, is the emissions benefit.It's a carbon-neutral fuel," he said.
  
  Biodiesel still produces carbon dioxide emissions like regular diesel, Manning says.
  ...
  The concept of supporting the local economy is very key to our mission," says Manning.
  
  Biodiesel currently costs a little more than regular diesel, but it has greater energy density, and thus provides increased fuel mileage, he added.
  
  Cape Fear Biofuels currently has about 90 members and buys its biodiesel from Piedmont Biofuels, a larger co-op in the Chapel Hill area.Members have access to a B100 (100-percent biodiesel) pump where they can fill up and record their fuel usage in a logbook.B20 (20-percent biodiesel) is available at Ted's Exxon at the corner of Wrightsville Avenue and College Road.
  
  "We've seen a 400-percent sales increase in his diesel sales," Manning says."People are seeking it out.
  ...
  "When you first start using the fuel, you need to keep an eye on your fuel filter because biodiesel is a powerful solvent," Manning says."It will actually clean out all the deposits in your fuel line, and those deposits are caught in your fuel filter."
  
  Also, biodiesel begins to solidify at a higher temperature - 36 degrees - than conventional diesel, so B100 shouldn't be used during the coldest months of the year.
  
  "Once you get past those two pieces of education, you have no change in your daily driving," Manning says from his 2001 Volkswagen Golf TDI."I'm flying down I-26 right now, going 70 miles an hour, running on B100.There's absolutely no change; if I took the sticker off the back of my car, you wouldn't know any different."
  
  B20, he says, is a great way to get people started on biodiesel.
  ...
  A new market for existing crops, Manning says, could provide a boost for local farmers hurt by the end of subsidies for tobacco and other crops.
