This was sent to me by a friend and I'm sending it on as a precaution. Don't know if very many states are affected yet but before you pump be sure to check to see what you're pumping! For the airplane drivers among you, this is another good reason to stick with 100LL.

Most car companies will not honor the warranty on your car if you use this new gas. Watch video to see why. http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/2000862202001/ Please pass this on to everyone you know. The EPA says "Buy it" and AAA says "Don't buy it." (I agree with AAA (and a lot of other sources that say it is bad, not for just vehicles, but also bad for most engines, including lawn mowers, weed-eaters, and chain saws!)________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Model A build question

Greetings, All:Today, I will be checking on the attempt at a first print made here in Taiwan fromone negative of this set I found. It's a pic of the model aircraft Orrin C.built in the early-30s. Let's hope this works...If so, then I will be offering prints of the two pics of Orrin C. Hoopman's B-4-T#10718 to Piet-People in the "old-fashioned way," by "mail order"... (justlike the drawings were offered!) Simply send a check for payment in whatever amountyou think meets your needs, financial circumstances, and generosity (alongwith your mailing address) to my mother in the USA. We are in touch regularly;she will simply deposit the funds into my account in Maine, and make sureI receive your request. This will save all the hassles of international paymentprocessing.Maxine Stanwood467 Wyman Rd.Milbridge ME 04658(207) 546-2405I think you will all enjoy seeing the "original, Model T powered, Sky Scout", completewith fuselage logo and a spinner on its nose.--------Pietenpol's Forever!Read this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ___Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Model A build question

This penetrating wheel/ski design might be of interest to the few Piet owners outthere that operate off skis in the winter.I found that this setup sort of gives the best of both worlds allowing the planeto be moved easily in the hanger and acts as a brake plus great directionalcontrol on hard packed snow. In soft deep snow is where the ski will shine asopposed to a tail wheel alone.I apologize for the size of the picture files as they are off my iPhone and notsure how to resize if even possible!;)--------Adrian MWinnipeg, MBCanadaRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... ttachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/imag ... ___Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: Model A build question

Oops...that doesn=99t sound right. I =98ll try again. which way is the tach cable driven on most aircraft tachs? Does the cable turn clockwise or counterclockwise and are tachs available in which the cable rotates the same? Does this make sense?Dennis________________________________________________________________________________Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 19:35:53 -0600Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: mechanical tach
