An American icon goes green, smells good too
Propel Biodiesel's Seattle station is an urban oasis. Filling up there can be a meditative experience.
The Propel Biodiesel station in South Lake Union glows in the LED lighting at dusk. Planter boxes hold sample feedstocks for the station, such as sunflowers and camelinia.
If you're green at heart but still attached to your internal combustion engine, don't give up hope. If it's diesel you need, pull your Bug or your tractor-trailer into the South Lake Union station at Broad and Westlake and fill up. It's roughly the same price per gallon as regular diesel.
