Were do I sign up to pay $2.99 for 87 Octane

Im not saying heet is an end all say all cure, but it can get you out of a jam, with out having to drain your tanks in most cases.
As with ethanol methanol is an alcohol, and you will need to keep an eye on most of your rubber coated fuel parts, alcohol dries them out, and in extreme cases it eats them, so when using heet use just enough to get the crap out,, then ur good.

The latent heat of evaporation is the energy required to overcome the molecular forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid, and bring them to the vapour state, where such attractions are minimal.



The definition of the specific latent heat of vaporization is

'The specific latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert unit mass of a liquid into the vapour without a change in temperature."

I hope this clears up any confusion....

or should i take a closer look at the bullet?
