Remember ethanol, E-85 and biodiesel next-----

Status: False.

I think you are right, as someone else said all the oil enters the same pipeline and there is no difference between shell/exxon/texaco gasoline products. They are indistingish-able(sp?) once they enter the pipeline.

On the other hand, I fully support anything one can do to reduce the needs for all oil . Conservation, windpower, solar power etc. At this point, conservation really is the best alternative since the others are no cost-effective for most people, but hopefully will be one day.

Anyone have any detailed plans on how I can convert my F250 to run on wood? /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif I'd have a lifetime supply for free. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Not wood but HAY.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The next vehicle you buy, consider one that runs on E-85 (85% ethanol). )</font>

Mine (2000 taurus) is a FFV vehicle which will run it.

Now the question is..

Where do I buy it /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Finding pumps that have diesel was hard enough ... found both the stations in this town (goleta, ca) that sell diesel in a couple hours driving. Another has opened since then. Haven't seen any that sell E-85.

Believe it or not, it was fairly common to see tractors set up to run on wood in Europe during WWII. As you can imagine, the supply of any kind of liquid fuel was extremely limited. The machines had a combustion chamber where the wood was kept and allowed to smolder. The gasses from the burning wood were drawn through a soot seperator and into the engine. Power output was quite low but still way better than no tractor at all.

We have one gas station in the entire state of Nebraska that sells E-85. Just happens to be a few miles from where I live.

Is that where the term came from "PUT IT TO THE WOOD"
