You should get WM so you can do some corn injection experiments. Hah.FoMoCoSHO said:
As for my car... idk. As long as he keeps sending tunes I'll keep sending logs. I know he was working on the boost curve, not sure what else he's working on. It gives me a reason to go play. At this point I think I'd become a tad depressed if I don't see any more emails from Torrie.. haha

Here's the details on that...
The refineries begin switching over well before May 1st. And bulk shipment via pipeline of reduced RVP product begins as early as mid to late March. By federal law, the bulk storage at the fuel depots/distribution terminals must be fully turned by May 1st. The requirenent varies by region, according to state and even municipal mandate. Federal reg requires 9 pound at the retail level by June 1. This means retail conversion deadline is June 1. By state or local mandate, and typically in urban areas, the requirement by June 1 may be 7.8 pound, 7.0 pound, or other.
I'm in the process of turning tanks now. It's rather annoying and heavily scrutinized by HQ. It actually takes careful planning, where to put product, how much and when. Getting marketing to play with prices to get the stuff out of here. Low throughput plays hell. It can be tricky sometimes. The design of the tank weighs in, floating suction and such. The size of the tank. Tanks which aren't converted by May 1 face seasonal lockout, which is of course a very costly occurrence. But it's seldom an issue in the end.
But, what this all means for you is that you're almost certainly filling with "summer" gas already. Or, at least a nice blend of it. By early May or even late April, you'll be filling with pure summer gas. 7 to 9 pounder.
Still wont give You the effective octane as direct injected corn/wood.wasinger3000 said:
I'd have a custom pump/cam made and tank of corn installed on my compound with the 1/4 mile and small road course. Everyone would be invited.
Of course we're taking Powerball.....lol

Hah. I want something to fill the gap between when meth isn't being sprayed. I suppose I could just mix meth with my fuel at each fill.FoMoCoSHO said:
I'm on a anti-knock campaign.
I guess with all the topics about changing trans,ptu,fluids makes you a little bit more skeptical where to have this performed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-avpx8UTakI

I just read an article stating this exact stuff. It also mentioned California getting it earlier and for a longer stay, with no dates given though.

Yeah, I believe California is quite a bit more stringent, surprise surprise. Glad I'm not an operator in California. Heh heh.
I have found the marketing and environmental side of this business to most interesting. I'm still learning all of the time. But I have a rather indirect role in both, so I'm forced to learn...indirectly.
