<Stan Wilder Writes;

"Unleaded fuel in the Cities is full of anti pollutant compounds ( water
)"

Bwa , Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha, !!!

Sorry Stanley, not this time--->

Sorry, Terry but Stan is probably correct. One of the cheapest anti pollutant
additives is ethyl alcohol (up to 10% hereabouts). Alcohol adsorbs water. That
is why we add alcohol to prevent frozen gas lines here in the north. This 10%
alcohol content lets the gas supplier slip some water in without any noticeable
side effects except lower power and poorer gas mileage.

<Crazy men have been trying to get the internal combustion engine to run
on water for 100 years--guess what--- it don't work.>

It do, it do, really.
