I don't know man, but the original report like this I read was from a company called blue fuels (witch I cant find anymore lol) and it was in french. But they were basically saying that to eliminate the need to use high energy sources to make the fuel, they instead connected the water tanks to the exhaust of a cement factory to ``boost`` the photosynthesis effect, this way it would cost very little energy and take very little time to make both fossil fuels and omega 3. Another by product of this was that it ``cleaned`` the exhaust fumes at the same time.
I don't know how good it is or isn't! But just the tough of having locally made fuel, that anyone can make (witch means competition, witch means competitive pricing and less traveling to get to the pump) sounds like a plan that's both good for the consumer and the environment! |

My experiment with the Lucas Oil Ethanol Fuel Conditioner was unsuccessful. The crickets were gone for 3 days. Now they're back. Even though it does seem that the crickets are little quieter, it's not quiet enough to justify buying another bottle.

Just checked the service invoice again, and besides the fuel pump replacement parts and service list there was a no charge "Miscellaneous Fuel System - Repair" line item as well. Not sure what it was for . Didn't have time to check as I got a call while I was picking up the car about an issue I had to go back to work and deal with. Will have to ask them next time I go in for an oil change. |
