Chris,
Houston is a whole different deal, with the big city pollution problems, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the fuel contained alcohol. I regularly check the gas I buy in Lockhart and have never found it to contain alcohol. Your mileage may vary...

Mark,
REALLY? No alcohol in fuel in Texas.
The pumps from where I get my gas says that it "may" contain 10%
ethanol....is this just there to cya (I understand cya does not always mean
"call your attorney"). I question it since when the Jeffco failed in
my strake it was highly speculated it was due to ethanol in the fuel. I
would like to know that it is not present as to eliminate it as an issue.
I have always gotten the 87 octane from the station across the street from the
airport and I had no idea it may not be an issue for the GSOT.
Hmmmmmmm?
OH, btw, I am a cop and while I am sure that I
could pull ya over for the the tanks being transported that way and find a
violation (as damn near everything is illegal these days <sigh>), I find
it highly unlikely that I would. There is too much other stuff to stroke
someone for that has a conscious disregard for others safety (yeah, you can say
being a "new Pinto" could classify for that, but again, other stuff occupies the
day.......like felony "fail to signal turn at intersection" <g>) Of
course, I am in GSOT and not the Peoples Republic of
California.......
All the best,
Chris Barber
Houston, Texas

Bill, No alcohol in our gas here in Texas. I run
nothing but mogas in my Lancair. Gov. Perry is fighting the feds on
this issue and I sure hope he wins. Another good reason to have a rotary
fly-in here, right Dennis? \\Mark S.

no alcohol?

Well this a Ford, an Escape;
hopefully I'll be able to escape … but the Pinto's gas tank was underneath
the car, between bumper and frame … people shouldn't tailgate too close
when they see 3 gas cans in their face.

You need
to see if you can find a Ford "Pinto" name badge to put on it.

I got tired of smelling and afraid of carrying gas behind the back seat
of my SUV, so I made this trailer-hitch carrier out of 1 1/4" pipe
and an ATV basket … it's not bullet-proof, but if an accident occurs the
gas is better off outside the vehicle than inside.
