stopped
in at
the
Eagle
Fun Days
celebration
in Eagle
Idaho to
visit
with the

It is
always a
great
honor to
visit
with one
of the
groups
that so
valiantly
protect
our
great
country
and our
freedoms.
As our
tag line
says
"Kick
The Oil
Habit,
use
American
Made
Fuel".
It was
great to
visit
with
this
group of
individuals
and
there
was not
one of
the
soldiers
there
that did
not
agree
with our
tag line
and not
one that
would
not
agree
that the
high
prices
of fuel
in
America
has
touched
each and
everyone
of us in
some
way.
They
said in
general
that we
need to
take
control
of our
destiny
and help
reduce
our
dependency
on
foreign
oil.

June 4th
Fuel Flex International, LLC with Ethyl
the Ethanol powered hummer and Ethyl2
Represented the Treasure Valley Clean
Cities Coalition at the John Mayer concert at
the Idaho Center
in Nampa Idaho. John Played to a packed house of
fans and even those that might have came as
"Just Curious" were soon converted
to his great style of music. There
were many there that support him not only for
his great style of singing and playing the
guitar but because he is an avid promoter of the
"Green" way of life, whether that be, building
or biofuels, wind power or solar energy.
We spent much time with
the guests explaining the reasons we do what we
do with Fuel Flex International and how it
affects people on a daily basis, whether it was
the differences in Ethanol vs Gasoline,
diesel vs bio diesel and just the fact
that in many areas of the US that biofuels are
cheaper than gasoline and diesel and they should
be thinking about American made befouls instead
of imports.
There are not many musicians that
can honesty boast the ability to write, sing,
and play like John Mayer. They only come along
once in a while.
That's why it's no surprise that his short
career has been defined by legions of fans,
several awards and truckloads of album sales. He
gives hope to the millions of fans who claim
that creativity and raw musical talent were
being ushered out of the spotlight by synthetic
and contrived pop music.

All we can say is what a great vehicle, good
looking and runs great. A quick visit under the
hood and our 2007 Hummer H3 is now a flex fuel

27, 2007) -
To celebrate the monumental use
of 100 percent fuel-grade ethanol in the
IndyCar® Series, along with ethanol’s historic
first win of the Indy 500, the Ethanol Promotion
and Information Council (EPIC), IndyCar Series,
Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Rahal Letterman
Racing, have joined forces to present the
Ethanol Summit. Attendees will hear about why
ethanol was chosen to fuel the race cars of the
IndyCar Series and the performance benefits that
ethanol has proven on and off the track. In
addition, speakers will discuss the future of
ethanol production, its role in rural economic
renaissance and energy independence, its ability
to help impact global climate change and why
consumers can play such an important and active
role in America’s energy future.

we were

we
thought

fairly
small,
much to
our
surprise
we were
making a
presentation
the the
whole

The
topic of
conversation
was
rather
diverse
as you
can
imaging,
but went
form the
use of
ethanol,
the
chemical
make up
and
expected
mileage
changes,
the
performance

of

the

benefits,
and the

and what
a great

tool
that
would be
now that

We

the K12

there.
Upon
arrival
we were
met by
Shayne

a very
impressive
science
teacher
and

recently
had a
chance
to meet
him at a

meeting
and was
very
impressed
on what
he had
to say
about
his
thoughts
on the
environment
and
renewable
fuels.
He told
me that
his
class
discusses
this on
a
regular
basis
and he
ask if I
would
bring
Ethyl to
their
school
and
discuss
the
impact
of
Ethanol
and it's
availability
in Idaho
and in
general
in the
USA.
Those of
you that
know us,
know we
are
passionate
about
this
subject
and so
away we
went.
Accompanying
me on
this
trip was

This
turned
out to
be a
great
time and
I was
amazed
at the
level of
questions
and
answers
from the
children
and
adults
at this

They are
definitely
the

We
handed
out

information
about
what we
do, and
how each

can
start
now on

powered by a Ethanol Flex
Fuel Conversion system and
Clean Burning Ethanol was
one of the most visited and
ride-requested vehicles at
the Anaheim show April 1st
through the 4th. Even those
that do not like Hummers
agreed that if you have to
have one, running on Clean

like ethanol makes perfect
sense for all the right
reasons. Anyone that wants

chance to do their part to
help the environment and
help kick our dependency on

Requirements Established for
Ethanol-blended Fuel Pumps
Underwriters Laboratories
(UL), a safety testing and certification organization,
announced the establishment of safety requirements for
E85 fuel dispensing equipment. UL is accepting
submittals for certification investigations.
The safety requirements,
announced on Oct. 16, follow the completion of UL's
comprehensive research program to investigate potential
safety concerns associated with dispensing highly
concentrated ethanol-blended fuels. The research
included extensive gathering of technical data, field
studies of existing E85 installations in the United
States and Brazil and analysis of material compatibility
for dispenser components. UL's investigation also
involved a co-sponsored technical forum with the U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) that brought together 32
national experts from automobile and petroleum
companies, ethanol producers, dispenser and component
manufacturers, industry associations, government
agencies and university researchers.
"UL's research into the
safety aspects of the equipment used to dispense high
percentage ethanol-blended fuels was a significant
undertaking that required the participation of
government agencies such as Department of Energy and
EPA, as well as technical experts in biofuels and
material compatibility from around the world," said Gus
Schaefer, UL's public safety officer. "We took the need
for E85 dispenser requirements very seriously due to the
unique characteristics of ethanol-blended fuels and
believe the potential issues we identified through our
thorough process will help promote the efficient,
effective delivery of E85 as safely as possible."
UL's research indicated
that although certain materials found in commercially
available dispensers can be expected to perform
acceptably when exposed to motor vehicle fuels blended
with high concentrations of ethanol, some materials
experienced significant deterioration during research
tests. The new safety requirements address these
material compatibility findings, UL officials said.
Working with the DOE,
UL's scientific research program was designed to advance
public knowledge about the long-term effects of highly
concentrated ethanol on the components of E85 dispensers
and the subsequent effects on fire safety. One element
of the research program included a long-term
conditioning test, the results of which were used to
assist UL in determining the necessary protocols for
evaluating potential degradation of dispenser materials
from exposure to E85.
"The Department of Energy
has been pleased to facilitate an efficient, focused,
diligent and collaborative effort with Underwriters
Laboratories, EPA and stakeholders," said Andy Karsner,
DOE's assistant secretary for energy efficiency and
renewable energy. "UL's quick completion of test
requirements will help expand the use of clean and
abundant homegrown fuels."
As part of ongoing
research, UL is working with DOE, EPA, the National
Renewable Energy Laboratory and Oak Ridge National
Laboratory to conduct additional long-term, dynamic
testing of materials to be used in E85 dispensers.

As for Dr. Farrell, she didn't mind being ahead of the curve to get in on the corn craze.
In Idaho, ethanol is 30 to 50 cents cheaper than regular gas, but since ethanol also gets slightly fewer miles to the gallon Conger says the cost evens out. He also said the state is appropriating funds to help add more ethanol stations.
