This doesn't make any sense. If the truck can only carry LESS ethanol by
WEIGHT than gasoline, it's because the ethanol is LESS dense, and therefore occupies more volume per unit. With a full load of ethanol, the truck is 'full', but only has the equivalent 'weight' of 11,000 gallons of gasoline.

We got to chatting while I was waiting for the coffee and pastry order and found this out. Apparently, ethanol is heavier than gasoline. In normal conditions, a gasoline delivery truck carries 13,200 gallons of gasoline. With ethanol, they can only deliver 11,000 gallons at a time because of the extra weight. -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Home Page: http://www.seanet.com/~jasonrnorth I |
