Specific gravity of your "93" octane...

[Birddog]

Wife and I have had a few encounters with tanker drivers that say "watch your gas" lately..

Does anyone have a hydrometer?? Post up your findings on 93...

I'll be checking my findings on "100" octane from here out.......

i've been preaching this for a while. you just don't know how much they cut your pump gas anymore...

I got a tank of gas that made the Ramerati knock.

Are the truckers saying that the gas is being shipped as a lower quality? I mean ----, what we pay for this stuff you would hope that you are at least getting what you paid for.

Dude, where have you been? It's been like that for years... :nod: :yuck:

Been to busy questioning the governments and big corporations, guess I've been leaving my oil and gas suppliers out of the questioning area.

Excellent read!

Another "variable" story on fuel ..ah, quality?

A tanker driver I knew told me the following story....(he drove out of Richmond , central Ca.)

"I get to the yard, double up, and fill my tanks from the same spigot.
the only difference between the Brands is the addatives . I go to
a separate station to add them".

And Also,

"Any left over load is now hazmat, we don't take it back to the
yard, the company does not want to pay disposal fees."

He would 2-way dispatch and get paid O/T to drop any "leftover product"
into any tank within a 75 mile radius of his primary route. (O/T cheaper
than disposal.)

He told me, "any liquid went to any tank that would top it off"

Diesel to 83, 89 to 87, diesel to 89, etc.. etc..

Definitely time for an upgrade on my hydrometers/heaters.

It probaly happens, but with random testing by your state dept of weights and measures, if the octane rating of what is being sold as 93 or whatever octane is not what is represented to be, the seller and distributer would be in for some stiff fines.... now my complaint is that the highest standard pump octane is 91 here in Arizona.....wishing i had a Sunoco out here like i did back in Cleveland( but was'nt into turbo cars then)

If I have to buy gas from a more questionable place, I always add a bottle of octane booster just to be safe.
