POET Biorefining – Caro has helped two area businesses install new blender pumps, providing more alternative fuel options for drivers in Sebewaing and Elkton, Mich.

The plant contributed to each station installing the pumps: The Cooperative Elevator Company in Sebewaing and Ignash Petroleum in Elkton.

“We know there’s a demand from many drivers for more options, and blender pumps are the best way to allow real fuel choice,” said David Gloer, general manager at POET Biorefining – Caro. “Different blends of ethanol provide different cost-saving and performance options, so this will give drivers the chance to use the fuel that best works for their vehicle.”

Blender pumps allow the consumer to choose between multiple ethanol blend options, such as E10, E30, E50, E85 and more. Use of higher ethanol blends is currently for Flex Fuel vehicles only.
