I just read 526.203 which was scheduled to be signed into law this month. Renewable Fuel Standards, mandates blended fuel in FL byy 2010 with following exemptions: Aircraft Fuel sold for use in boats and similar watercraft among other exemptions. If this was signed then are we safe in...

Well I guess most of you have herd what a mess Charlie Crist has been making in FL and now yet another one. Good ole gov suntan (tree hugger) has announced that the state is buying the sugar farms near lake okeechobee. 2billion plus dollars. Wants them to quit polluting the everglades and...

I guess I missed the legistlation that would have banned hand guns. Supreme court shot it down from what I just read on CNN. Saw a photo of some pro gun protesters and on had a sign that stated: If guns kill people then do pens misspell words? Thought it was one of the best protest signs.

Saw it hit 140 today due to Lybia announcing they are considering a cut in production. Well I said in a few other threads that the raggers will do this. However here is another thought. They may never cut production but I bet they are heavily invested in Oil futures and bought yesterday...

Thought I would start new discussion regarding these issues and remove from the Trawler thread. Read yesterday that the Bio Fuel investments are at a bust. Due to the price of corn, now well above 5/ bushel, they can no longer make a profit. Construction has halted on new ethanol plants etc...

Going to try leak down test this weekend, just bought the tester. any tips? I was going to wrap masking tape around the crank pully and cut it at the timing mark, pull off and measure it and divide in 1/4's with marks. then put it back on so i can obtain TDS for all cyl. This should work right?

Filled up last night at a Hess Station and pumps said fuel contains 10% or less Ethanol. Did some research and it appears a company with help from the state of FL. built a massive ethanol plant in tampa, it went on line in october I believe. There are plans for one in south fl and one in Jax...
