The Ethanol debate was talking about water in the fuels,
Has anyone ever been to a Fueling Pipeline Distribution center??
A friend of mine for 35 years worked at one all his life. As he put it,
When they pump fuel through the Pipelines! The lines are always full at all times!! Otherwise they can break!! When receiving a load of fuel coming into him. He knows there's, exe. about 330,000 gallons of #1 Diesel coming in and A WATER PLUG, of about, 25,000 gallons. After that is 400,000 gallons of #2 Diesel,
With A 25,000 gallon Water Plug, Then 500,000 gallon of Gasoline, With A 25,000 gallon Water Plug. And so on. He knows when to switch the valve from the fuel storage tanks. To a fuel plug Holding tank. Where the water plug goes. Did this all day 24/7.
The fuel being pumped in the pipeline will mix with some of the water. They will sell the plugs to Jippo Stations. After the fuel is separated from the water. We all know condensation also occurs. This is one of the way's Fuel/water is delivered to allot of fuel stations.
