this push by the EPA will mean that our precious early chevy motors will be
burned up. this corn fuel is pretty harmful to the rubbers and metals of our
iron. not to mention the fuel power is weaker.
please join. be a silent partner if need be.
Contact your congressman and holler if youre willing...

SAN Opposes EPA Expansion of E15
Waiver to MY 2001 and Newer Cars
Several weeks ago, the SEMA Action Network (SAN) requested that the U.S.
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) suspend its partial waiver to permit the sale of gasoline
containing 15 percent ethanol (E15) for model year 2007 and newer
vehicles. Instead, the EPA has taken another step in the wrong direction by
expanding the waiver to include MY 2001-2006 vehicles.
The decision conflicts with President Obama’s Executive Order from earlier this
week that requires government agencies to balance social and
economic costs.
The EPA agrees with SAN that older cars (pre-MY 2001) should not be fueled with
E15. The EPA
reached its decision based over concern that ethanol’s corrosive qualities
could harm the vehicle’s engine and other metal, plastic and
rubber components. The EPA has proposed that a warning label be posted on the
gas pump to prevent misfueling. SAN opposes this solution as
incomplete given the significant threat of damage that could arise from
misfueling. Even for newer vehicles, the label will cause confusion
since most owner’s manuals instruct the motorist not to use ethanol blends
higher than E10 and warranty coverage may be denied for damage caused
by misfueling.
SAN will continue to oppose E15 until there are conclusive scientific findings
that demonstrate that it
will not harm automobiles of any age as a result of corrosion or other chemical
incompatibilities.
Please forward this Alert to your fellow car enthusiasts. Urge them to join
the SAN and help defend the hobby!
