You figure the conversation will continue after 6 years?

all the tanks get water, its natural and cant be stopped, with regular gasonine the water goes to the bottom and they drain it.

they have a gasoline float meter and water float meter that tells them the height of the gasoline and the height of the water, they keep the pump above 5 inches so it doesnt take water, they drain the water when it gets close, its easy becus its at the bottom.

then they did ethanol gas, they mix the ethanol at the tank so now they dont make 87 or 93 gas because ethanol is like 113 gas so they put lower octane gas then let the ethanol raise the octane up to 87 or 93 but what happens is the ethanol eats the water and then all the ethanal and water mix goes to the bottom and the gas is on top. if you are a dummy you wud think this is good because now you will pump pure gasoline but its not good because the pure gasonline is less than 87 octane and less than 93 octane because they thought the ethanol mixed with it was going to raise the octance but the ethanal mixed with the water and went to the bottom and now you are pumping less than 93 pure gas. this happens very fast if the gas isnt sold quickly so only go to busy gas stations to get 93 octane dont go somewhere that dosent sell it because its less than 93 by the time you get it
