what our customers say

"I can confidently say that using biodiesel in my generator during load shedding has been an absolute game-changer for my welding and borehole drilling company.
during extended periods of load shedding, the business led to losing time and we lost revenue for my business. We could not often go for traditional diesel as its expensive.
When we made the switch to biodiesel, I've noticed a significant improvement in the performance of my generator. Not only does it run smoother and more efficiently, but it also produces less emissions and has a lower environmental impact than regular diesel. The biodiesel doesn't clog the engine or cause it to break down.
The fact that biodiesel is made from renewable resources and is more sustainable than traditional fuels makes me feel good about the impact that my business is having on the environment."

Jeff Mafalo

Owner of Falos Group

"In 2019 We took the risk of being the first clients to purchase biodesel from Greatfuel for our construction projects. To date we do not regret. We use biodesel on our TLB's.
The TLB's engine performance significantly improved after switching to biodesel. It has less vibrations and runs smoother overall.

We also noticed a reduction in the amount of emissions that the TLB was producing.
Like any company, we strive to make profit. Biodesel saves us on fuel costs."
