Dr. Dan’s Alternative Fuelwerks

We are proud to announce that we now offer access to Biodiesel 24/7 to the public!  Stop by our station at 912 NW 50th St. Seattle, WA 98107 in Ballard and do your part for the planet today.  You no longer need a pre-paid account, but for our account holders, the system is still in place!  Thanks to all of you for supporting SUSTAINABLE Biodiesel!

We are pleased to announce that our new station in the Roosevelt neighborhood is now open!  In partnership with Espresso Express, we are offering B99 at 65th & 15th Ave NE, near I-5 and Whole Foods.  The new station operates independently of our pre-paid account system in Ballard, so customers pay as they fill.

Hours are 6am-6pm Monday-Friday, Saturday 7am-3pm, and Sunday 8am-3pm.  For a map of the area, click here.

Please call 206-783-5728 for more information.

As we pioneer the abundant field of renewable energy, it is important to keep our larger goals in mind.  At Dr. Dan’s we are committed to keeping biodiesel sustainable in the long term.  For our customers, for our industry, and most importantly, for our environment, we take extra care in ensuring that our fuel is produced in the most sustainable way possible.  This means using only domestic feedstock for our fuel and investing in carbon offsets for the small petroleum inputs needed to get the fuel from the field to your tank.

We envision and strive for a local economy that utilizes agricultural byproducts from here in the Northwest to sustainably produce quality fuel.  Fuel that is locally grown, produced, and consumed can enrich our economy, help our environment, and improve our quality of life.

Unfortunately, this vision is being compromised by the marketing of fuel made from unsustainable sources such as foriegn palm oil.  Transporting raw materials across the globe not only undermines the environmental benefits of biodiesel, but also discourages local farmers and industry leaders from developing a sustainable biofuels economy.  We encourage all of our customers and friends to make your voices heard by demanding domestic fuel and working to create a sustainable future for biodiesel.
