Gasohol

Hampton Airport in SE New Hampshire sells straight mogas with no
additives. They buy it by the tankload at the terminal in Portland ME
before the bad stuff goes in.

The joke on us all is that gas pumped to your local distribution
terminal has no alcohol in it... At the distribution terminal are huge
tanks of gas, and smaller tnaks of alcohol, dye, additives, etc...
The driver pulls up with his tanker... Keys in who the gas is for
Shell, Marathon, ETC.and what the octane rating is and the computer
selects the appropriate base stock of gasoline and mixes in the proper
additives and dyes as it pumps the load to his tanker, including the
alcohol... We are being hosed by the oil companies, in cahoots with
the government, in more ways than just price...

This is straight from the tanker driver's mouth... He spent a good ten
minutes showing me his work sheets, computer instruction sheet, mixing
receipt for his load, and gas analysis sheet including percent of
water, etc. that he leaves a copy of with the station after
delivery...

It is true that all oil companies fuel is essentially the same,
and has been true for a long time. Explain how the government is
somewhow in "cahoots" with the oil companies? Federal, state and
local governments together make more on a gallon of gas than the
oil companies do.

And that means that all of us using gasohol are getting worse gas mileage than we would get with straight gasoline.

I have personally verified that to be true in my vehicles.

Is it true that there is no longer any requirement to label
gasoline
contaminated with alcohol?

Worse.
I read that, starting in 2007, in some places, California and some
Canadian Provinces included, it is regulated that all gasoline sold
must
contain at least 5% alcohol/ethanol.

Tony
Here in Ontario I was told not all gasoline must have 5% alky, but
5%
of all fuel sold must be alky - so 50% of all fuel sold being E10
satisfies the requirement. In practice, virtually all 87 octane will
be e10. Premium 91 will (from some companies, at least) be E0,
making
the blended 89 E5. Since significantly over half the gasoline sold
in
Ontario is 87 octane, this would excede the requirements. - Just
from
what I've been told, but you can never trust the elected idiots, or
worse yet the beurocrats


IF I ever get a plane, all these silly fuel issues would be a real
irritant. I haven't been paying much attention to the new diesel
aircraft engines becoming available. Since I should be making my own
biodiesel by the end of this Summer (for something less than 45 cents
a
gallon), are any of the new diesels in the O-200/Rotax 912 class?




What do you grow to make biodiesel?


Relatives that own restuarants and have to pay to dispose of waste
fryer
oil!



You grow relatives?


Well, somebody planted the seed and they tend to grow on their own. I
just
fertilize them now and then!



What do you actually do to the waste fryer oil to make it useful as
biodiesel?

It's very technical.

Actually, I meant to type a "4", but I hit the "3" by accident. In a
flash, I thought "Should I bother to correct that?" and the answer was
"Nah...it doesn't matter."...

:-)

Tell the truth Jay. Is it because a 1/2 or full tablet won't fit in the
Coke bottle you are using?

That's like deliberately breeding flies or mosquitoes.

I planted some birdseed. A bird came up; now I don't know what to feed it.
