I saw something somewhere just a coupla days ago about that plant in
Qatar -- they create longer chains of stuff from natl gas (a lot of
which gets flared off I understand, so it is a "waste" product to some
extent), one of which is diesel.

While reading about the Shell Rotella I followed a link to Shell
Diesel V fuel where they stated Shell was a leader in GTL technology.
This is the 1st I've heard about this technology. They built a 15,000
barrels/day facility in 1993 in Malayasia (IIRC) and are planning a
much larger facility (140,000 bbls/day)in Qatar. Anyway, still
looking for more details about the GTL Technology but mostly I'm
surprised I haven't heard about it. One detail is intriguing "GTL
fuel is synthesized from Natural Gas giving outstanding ... quality
... purity... etc".
Didn't know diesel came from Nat Gas.....
Comments?

Subject: [MBZ] More OIL Questions
I don't see much choice in Mobil 1 here but when I go over the border
into the USA, I always look at WalMart to see
what they have.
Do I need to worry about the coding on the jugs or is any reasonably
heavy Mobil 1 going to be ok for my old 300D?
So far, I have just stuck with the Shell Rotella oil.
