Re: [Chrysler300] OCW article on gasoline

[Keith Boonstra <kboonstra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In these days when you can pull down just about anything you'd ever want 
to know off the net, I figured there would be someplace to download this 
excellent article.  But apparently there is not.  You're probably as 
bored as I am with articles about the importance of using Stabil on 
engines being stored with ethanol gasoline and so forth, but this guy 
Richardson explains it with so much more depth than any other I've 
read.  This ethanol issue is apparently generating more interest and 
research than I had thought.  (N.B. - there one error in the reprint 
where "rich" and "lean" are accidentally transposed.)

I talked to the folks at Old Cars Weekly, to get permission to scan and 
email it to anyone interested, but they suggested I contact Skinned 
Knuckles magazine from which OCW had reprinted the article.  I had a 
great chat with Skinned Knuckles and found that they intend to do "an 
even better followup article" in their May issue.  They want me to email 
a request to them, and they'll let me scan it and put it out there for 
those on our 300 server.  I'll do that.
