    Now I wait for my driveshaft.

    Thumbs up Trip Back Home

    Arrived home yesterday for the first time since September 1st - everything was good. Landscaper had cleaned up the yard a few days previous.

    Refueled at solitary Columbia, SC 93 E0 emporium, stopped by 'closed on sundays' 93 E0 station in Blythewood, SC for images and included an image of the solitary 93 E0 retailer here in Charlotte - minus the solitary marine retailer on Lake Norman in Cornelius, NC.

    Periodic check yesterday on family plot at Sharon Road Cemetery included. First time driving the Marauder there - 'residents' were pleased! Groundskeepers getting slack unfortunately, maybe because of the storm.

    Image included of engine bay depicting new IAC valve and new fuel vapor vent valve mounted on firewall over the starboard valve cover (bright bolts). Marauder is running its best ever, since I gained possession in March. Experiencing 'automotive harmony' for the first time in many years!

    FPDM wiring uprade with some questions answered by Travis and Justbob. Thanks!

    Black306 upgrade wiring kit instructions wrong. Written for Mustang only. You want to tap the WHITE wire at the FPDM, Pin 9. Not the pink and black wire.

    Black306 FPDM still works just fine.

    Found out today the two remaining local 93 E0 retailers no longer do. In recent weeks they switched over to 90 E0 with the Lake Norman marine retailer telling me that 93 E0 was no longer being made?!?! Made a few phone calls to stations still retailing 93 E0 NW of Charlotte and got the name of their distributor out of Hickory. The distributor informed me that 93 E0 is indeed still available and they get theirs from a supplier in Virginia by truck. Closest 93 E0 retailer to me is now in Maiden, NC, 28 miles away.

    Why don't you want to run any ethanol?

    Arrow An odd comment.

    I don't have time to overload MM.net's servers and get banned for accidentally crashing the site. Only one potentially 'upside' and it's debatable. The 'global warming' organized crime syndicate state that ethanol burns cleaner, which it does UNTIL you examine the pollution and energy expended in the production of moonshine-hooch-ethanol.

    Recalling these figures from a few years back when they were openly published, not so anymore.

    $5 per gallon to manufacture

    3 Gallons of water consumed for each gallon manufactured

    BTUs much less than pure gasoline

    Ethanol production drives up the cost of food

    Damage to engines not designed for it

    Shorter shelf life.

    ***************


    Upsides? Increased octane? Give me 93 'pure gas' without the moonshine mix please.


    From 2017:

    The Drawbacks of Ethanol: Food Versus Industry

    Ethanol and other biofuels are often promoted as clean and lower cost alternatives to gasoline, but the production and use of ethanol is not all positive. The major debate about corn and soy-based biofuels is the amount of land that the production takes away from food production, but also in that industrial corn and soy farming is harmful to the environment in a different way.

    Growing corn for ethanol involves the use of large amounts of synthetic fertilizer and herbicide, and corn production, in general, is a frequent source of nutrient and sediment pollution; also, the typical practices of industrial versus commercial and local food farmers are considered more environmentally hazardous.

    The challenge of growing enough crops to meet the demands of ethanol and biodiesel production is significant and, some say, insurmountable. According to some authorities, producing enough biofuels to enable their widespread adoption could mean converting most of the world’s remaining forests and open spaces to farmland — a sacrifice few people would be willing to make.

    “Replacing only five percent of the nation’s diesel consumption with biodiesel would require diverting approximately 60 percent of today’s soy crops to biodiesel production,” says Matthew Brown, an energy consultant and former energy program director at the National Conference of State Legislatures.

    In a 2005 study, Cornell University researcher David Pimental factored in the energy needed to grow crops and convert them to biofuels and concluded that producing ethanol from corn required 29 percent more energy than ethanol is capable of generating.
