Ethanol Fire

[Stan]

Many of us use ethanol as fuel for heat engines and quickly learn to have great respect for spilled fuel and its invisible flame. News item this morning about a truck accident and I just can't imagine 8000 gallons of flaming ethanol.

man talk about a large burner. im really surprised that there aren't more truck accidents here the way these knuckle head four wheelers drive here.(thats what we call auto drivers) i drive for a living and let me tell you these knuckle heads have no clue as to how much room it really takes for one of these trucks to slow down safely. everyday i encounter some idiot who gots to get around me just to slow down and turn. im really surprised that there are not many truckers that just get dam tired of these idiots and just don't even try to stop just smash the throttle more to the floor . and the rock that sank the boat is the dam hwy patrol here always blame the trucker cause he is a professional drive he knows better. ok rant over ill go away now.
