|Which brings us to a question I've been wondering about:
|Could we get a boarder line car past a smog inspection by putting the

|-tank full.
I saw that procedure in some car magazine I can't recall. I think they mixed
the fuel so it was 20% methanol(or ethanol). It's supposed to work well if
your car runs
rich and you just want to lean it out for smog tests. I think Gasohol is 10%
ethanol. Beacon used to sell bulk ethanol in Santa Cruz, but I haven't seen it
lately. De-natured alchahol would probably work just as well, since it's
ethanol with some additives so you can't drink it.
