Ethanol Warnings

[sketch1]

lol no... Not "your" gas tank. We are talking about the gas station gas tank. The big thing underground.

Oh ok sorry, I am a little out of it today..

Hi James. Yes, all of them. Where have you been? I haven't heared from you for a while. We should hit some trails...

Yes. This must be done to prevent sucking up debris and water etc. A buffer gas (+ debris/contaminant). lol

Contamination is unavoidable, I guess.

In the states where the switch to ethanol is new, the water in the bottom of the tank is a real problem. Ethanol absorbs water, which is then pumped into your gas tank. A little something extra for you.... At gasoline prices.

Isn't bottled water more expensive than gasoline? I guess we're getting a deal then, huh!!? :awais:

All I can say is, you can't change the infrastructure overnight and expect for everything to be ok.

I feel you Lemke.

God bless us all.

With all the tanker fill-ups a gas station gets, with different drivers, there is a likely chance that things won't be done with the "utmost vigilance". A good example is what SacState mentioned above.

When the tanker fills up the tanks, the gas is not poured in slowly to avoid stirring the sediment on the bottom, it is pushed in with force to minimize the time that tanker is in the parking area of the gas station... Typically less than 15 minutes start to finish to fill 2-3 underground tanks with a minimum of 4500 gallons each... And each tank most likely has at least 2-3 inches of sediment due to the age of the tanks, the amount of sediment in the trucks that delivered the fuel (pumped from the bottom of the truck), and any extra crap that may have been swept into the tank filler areas...
