Another intersting point on Ethanol-Gasoline Mixtures...

As a Volunteer Firefighter, I have been trying to keep up with the state-of-
the-art in firefighting technology.. well, the thing to fight fuel fires with
is foam.. several different types exist, each for a different type of flamable
liquid.  If you see a gasoline truck running down the highway, you will notice
 a little red diamond shaped sign with the number 1203 on it.  That means
"Gasoline", "Gas Oil", "Gasahol", "Motor Fuel, n.o.s", or "Motor Spirit".
Fires on all but one of those fluids can be fought with a single foam compound.
See, the alcohol in Gasahol does really nasty things to the lower-cost foam
compounds that work just fine on Gasoline [and close relatives].  Not only
is this a conspiracy between the EPA, ADM, the Oil Companies, and the
automotive manufacturers, it expands to the chemical companies who are gouging
the [overworked and underpaid] fire departments and making life on the highway
just that much more dangerous for us all...

If you agree with gasahol or not, please contact the DOT and let them know that
you feel there should be a distinction in placarding between gasoline and
gasahol products.  Those that fight fires thank you!

Have a nice day.
