Interesting Read on Ethanol
 

This is from the Wild About Cars website. Not sure how many here read or have seen their website. So with that, here's some interesting facts you might or might not know.

I subscribe to their newsletter and really like it. A lot of 60s supercar info, including engine specs and the backstory on the development of engines like the 426 Hemi, the FE Ford, and 427 Chev mystery motor.

I joined just after they started their website. I get the newsletter too Bob as there's some really great info from them. I've downloaded and saved some good PDFs on Pontiacs too.

Agree. Great info from WAC.

Just killed alot of time at that site...thanks..I think? lol

I've been a subscriber since they started up too but it had been quite some time since I actually explored the website. This is a very timely thread Gary because I was just wondering (in another thread) if there was a '66 or '67 Tempest Assembly Manual. Thanks to this thread I went over there and they actually have it in the library.
It's a great site that I don't think a whole lot of people are aware of.

Funny, I don't see anywhere in the article that suggests sourcing out non ethenal stations. Although not practicle for everyone it is a great choice for some.

Just got today's newsletter...
 

And here's an article about a '67 GP convertible.

I know where there is a 67 GP convertable in an old wrecking yard here in Oregon. Very rusty but complete. One year only convertible!

Here is a listing of stations that have pure gas: http://pure-gas.org/ The HY Vee pure in the Kansas City area is 91 octane.

We're going to order some of Royal Purple's Max-Clean at the parts store next week and give it a try. I want to add it to the full tank of gas in the GTO and see how good it really is. Hopefully it'll cut down on the moisture that stays in the exhaust system, and save my fuel lines and gas tank.

Anyone ever use the Royal Purple? I bought a bottle of this yesterday and was exciting to get home and pour it in. Problem is the directions say to add to an empty tank and I just filled up. Does anyone know if this will work adding to a full tank? It's going to take forever to run the gas out.

Wish I had that problem. :D

I know, I know :) It is a good problem to have, but I want this more for the stabilizer function since it sits for the most part. Still needs some work before I can run it 250 miles to drain the tank!

even though I like Royal Purple, the end does sound like an ad/commercial

Here in FL, we have REC 90 which is 90 octane ethanol free gasoline for use in outboard motors. Burns great in my mower and trimmer. I can't wait to build an engine set up to burn it.

For which car?:rolleyes:

Sounds like a 'Royal' PITA to me. You're supposed to have a 5 gallon can of gas in your garage or are you supposed to time it so that you will just be running out of gas at the pump so you can pour the RP in?
Surely, they don't mean truly empty.

I'll try and find out how to add it... empty or full.... on Wednesday when the salesman comes to the store.

Remind me so I don't forget.
