What I have noticed here in North Texas is lots of capped oil wells are being worked, and put back into production. I guess the price is/or will be what will make a profit for these stripper wells.

 

E85 FUEL INFORMATION

From the U.S. Department of Energy Handbook for Handling, Storing & Dispensing E85 –

“As concerns about rising gasoline prices and dependence on foreign oil increase, Americans

are looking for alternative fuels like ethanol. Ethanol is better for the environment, is

domestically produced, and its use supports farmers and rural communities. Ethanol is produced

mainly from corn grown in the Midwest. One bushel of corn (approximately 56 pounds)

produces 2.7 gallons of ethanol. Ethanol can also be produced from cheese whey, spilled

beer and dated soda. Because ethanol can be produced from crops, it is classified as a

renewable fuel. By switching to ethanol fuels and advanced vehicle technologies, vehicle

owners are achieving both energy security and cleaner air.�

This creates problems for vehicles without the advanced vehicle technology if someone

tries to use fuel with levels of ethanol higher than 10%.

the automotive aftermarket today are created by some misguided efforts to save a buck at the

gas pump, and are actually costing the users more than they know.

Let’s look at some of the facts from the United States of America’s own Department of Energy

Handbook for Handling, Storing, and Dispensing E85. The following facts are excerpts from this

DOE handbook.

There are two basic types of ethanol fuels in use today: E10* and E85*.

“By definition the E10 fuel is a small amount of ethanol (10% by volume) added to the gasoline

we put in our vehicles in order to fulfill federal oxygenate requirements, add octane, and

greatly extend the petroleum fuel supply. E10 is a widely available vehicle fuel and can be

run in vehicles with or without the Flex fuel equipment options.�

E85 fuel is a much higher concentration of ethanol (85% by volume) added to the gasoline.

“E85 fuel requires vehicles that have been specifically designed as flexible fuel vehicles

(FFVs), which can run on either gasoline or E85 fuel.�

“E85 fuel needs more fuel per pound of air than gasoline for proper combustion; therefore,

E85 cannot be used in conventional vehicles�

equipped to identify the ethanol content of the fuel and properly adjust the injection and ignition

systems for the required stoichiometric fuel-to-air ratio.

E85 seems like a viable source of fuel no matter what the motherf**kin american gvernemnt thinks or says....I am thining of adapting my H2 for E85 but there are no E85 stations in my area, Has anyone thought about E100?

 

Guy running my place in Texas asked if he could switch from coastal hay to corn in the pastures. Guess I need to think about it.
