I have eight-year old diesel fuel that runs in my Ford 6.9 just fine. Can’t tell the difference.

Rosh Hashanah is a new moon; Sukkot starts on a full moon.

Exactly.

A heads up doesn’t deter the usual suspects, it only helps them.

“Rosh Hashanah is a new moon; Sukkot starts on a full moon.”

I understand that, but each year the new moon is not on the same day. Rosh Hoshana is celebrated during 48 hours for that reason isn’t it? Because no one knows axactly when the new moon will be?

You wouldn’t be running a long haul truck very long with that fuel. I used to own a trucking company. Oh, and I wouldn’t run that Ford to long with it either.

From Wikipedia (Tishri 1 is Sept. 8 this year):
Since the time of the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE and the time of Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai, normative Jewish law appears to be that Rosh Hashanah is to be celebrated for two days, due to the difficulty of determining the date of the new moon. Nonetheless, there is some evidence that Rosh Hashanah was celebrated on a single day in Israel as late as the thirteenth century CE. Orthodox, and Conservative Judaism now generally observe Rosh Hashanah for the first two days of Tishrei, even in Israel where all other Jewish holidays dated from the new moon last only one day. The two days of Rosh Hashanah are said to constitute “Yoma Arichtah” (Aramaic: “one long day”). The observance of a second day is a later addition and does not follow from the literal reading of Leviticus. In Reform Judaism, some communities only observe the first day of Rosh Hashanah, while others observe two days. Karaite Jews, who do not recognize Rabbinic Jewish oral law and rely on their own understanding of the Bible, observe only one day on the first of Tishrei, since the second day is not mentioned in the Torah.

B.S.

Runs fine. Don't know if the mechanical fuel injection is less picky.

Gasoline I don't keep more than a year without stabilizer.

I understand that it runs fine but engine life is going to be comprimised. Even on the boats we owned, the fuel had to be scrubbed regularly if not used for periods of time. Ask any long haul truckin company or deisel boat owners.

But they had lookouts to announce the actual time of the New Moon.

I have Pri-D conditioner but there has been no reason to use it. Also no sign of bacterial growth. So what’s the problem? I do keep an extra fuel filter but again has been no reason to change it early. There is cetane conditioner in the fuel.

Brackdown of the lubrication leading to ring and cylinder wall damage.

Saudi’s probably green lighted the operation. Anyone remember the news snippets about Israel staging equipment in Saudi Arabia. Obama has been up at MV for a nice long time. I'll bet he has been meeting with the reps for the affected countries. Good cover and sea access for boats.

All the furor down in NYC over the GZM is probably a grand distraction for the press.

New moon is 10:30 GMT on September 8. That’s 13:30 Jerusalem time.

Islamic headquarters is in the cross hairs.

It takes tons of fuel to reach the White House.

I really tried, but I have a hard time picturing this Martha's Vineyard scenario.

...unless you mean the affected countries such as Iran, Syria, Hamas, and Hezbollah.

If you run across some good documentation of this happening I’d be interested in seeing it. Seems pretty unlikely to me since the crankcase oil has the primary role in lubricating the cylinder wall.

I mean Israel, Saudi Arabia and probably Egypt. The Saudis are probably calling the shots as far as timing for any meeting goes.
