Full Circle Fuels is a new multi-faceted alternative fuels center located at 141 South Main Street in Oberlin, OH. They are dedicated to increasing awareness and use of biofuels in northeast Ohio. Full Circle Fuels offers the following:


An automotive shop in which we convert diesel vehicles to run on straight vegetable oil

Retail of energy efficiency and fuel economy items

Collection of waste vegetable oil from local establishments for use in converted vehicles and biodiesel production

Conventional automotive repair (everything except tires, paint and body work)

E-85 at the retail pump (biodiesel coming soon!)
Biodiesel fuel production in a mobile, off-the-grid, community-scale processor

Educational initiatives aimed at increasing local interest in and knowledge about biodiesel through educational outreach programs


Full Circle Fuels will increase the awareness and use of biofuels in Northeast Ohio. In addition, Sam is working on a strategy to design a biodiesel blending pump, which operates at a sustainable station. We hope this model can be replicated within the region in order to create access to clean burning, domestic, renewable fuels and technologies.
