Sema and our hobbies

[spatz]

The SEMA Action Network (SAN) is urging the United States Congress
to support a provision to prevent the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
from using designated funds to increase the amount of allowable ethanol content
in gasoline to 15% (E15). The SAN contends that this legislation is necessary to
protect automotive enthusiasts and consumers from misfueling and other
unnecessary harm.
The provision, offered as an amendment to legislation funding the federal
government for the remainder of fiscal year 2011, will suspend EPA’s efforts to
quickly permit E15 in the marketplace. On behalf of millions of auto enthusiasts
across the country, SAN is arguing that more time is needed for the completion
of unbiased and independent testing on the impact of E15 on vehicles and engines.
The SAN will continue to take proactive steps in Washington, D.C. in support of the
hobby to oppose E15 until there are conclusive scientific findings that demonstrate
that it will not harm automobiles of any age as a result of corrosion or other
chemical incompatibilities.
Please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts.

I know that Kettering University her in Flint Michigan began a study about
this a year ago, but Haven't heard any results yet. This is the reason you can't use E-85 in a vehicle thats not a flex fuel vehicle, besides the lousy
fuel mileage from it.
As a fellow truck owner and a street rodder, I can imagine what this
would do to a high performance engine.

One more reason to run electronic injection on a motor. Regardless, SEMA is on top of their game and I appreciate them being there for the consumer.

E 10 has been here in the corn belt for a long while. It is rubber and plastic eating stuff that ruins lawn mowers etc with with rubber in the fuel delivery. Early fuel injection systems with rubber in the fuel rail line as a seal between sides leak really bad with it. Last fall I bought a 2007 primo Z71 4x4 , had it about a month before I went to fill it up and much to my shagrin ,a yellow cap that say's E 85 ONLY.
There is supposed to be a new blue stabil to help with the older stuff.
