Rest In Peace, old friend, your work is finished.......
If you want on or off the DIESEL "KnOcK" LIST just FReepmail me........
This is a fairly HIGH VOLUME ping list on some days......

Ethanol Ping!.....

Wait, didn't they get this idea from Back To The Future?
Ping!.....
That was nyukular energy.....
I just heard Nancy Pelosi claiming that we need to move to renewable energy and reduce greenhouse gasses...yet, I will be any amount of money that she will not support the construction of the Auburn Dam, a source of clean water and renewable energy for Californians.
Burning fossil fuels to make electricity requires an expenditure of energy (due to efficiency loss) whereas hydro power is close to 100% efficient.
The Dems do not want clean energy, they want socialism and the religion of mother earth.
Ethanol is not a diesel fuel...
Still need plugs to ignite it.
I do like the idea of converting McDonald's fryer waste into deisel fuel though. Not only do you get to drive cheaply, but it smells good. :)
They want an issue to bandy about. If they actually solved a problem, they'd have no issues.....
And you win the prize! Back Door Socialism!!!
Ethanol is a component of some biodiesel blends. A "thinner" because SVO is too thick for the injectors and filter systems.......
MIT researchers at work ...
It is if you use it as a feedstock for biodiesel production. :-)
(Technically, you could build a diesel engine to burn straight ethanol. It would be more efficient than a spark-ignition engine of similar power output. However, there would be some engineering challenges involved, and it wouldn't get the same mpg as a conventional diesel, because the heat content per unit volume of ethanol is considerably less than that of diesel fuel or biodiesel.)
Seems like a good plan to me.

I know that site. It's one of my bookmarks......
Why do they always make the smart ones look like Einstein?
