[Tony Rinaldi <awrdoc@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi to all,

The following is interesting reading and should be considered especially
before winter storage of our brutes and beasts.

Conclusions:

Eastwood Ethanol Fuel Protection and Fuel Stabilization formulas
significantly increase E10 gasohol resistance to phase separation and
decrease the probability that phase separation will occur in the fuel tank
of stored vehicles.

Do ethanol fuel additives really deliver what they promise and help save
your engine from the ravages of E10? In this article, some popular fuel
additives are put to the test.

Did you know that certain fuel additives can increase the stability of fuels
containing ethanol? Author and chemist Benjamin Kellogg discusses several
readily available additives and how they can make modern fuels less harmful
to your historic vehicles. This article, which first appeared in the Fall
2011 issue of Army Motors, presents the results of an objective experiment
designed to prove or refute the benefits of ³fuel stabilizers.² - The
Editors



Introduction:

To design a simple, yet reproducible experiment to test the ³storage
enhancing² properties of fuel stabilizers, I decided to test the ability of
these additives to alter phase separation points. Two additives were
compared by a simple titration experiment.

Recap: Youth Judging At Chocolate Town
by Tabetha Salsbury

Operation Ignite! Youth Judging team names their top picks at Hershey.

Last month, youth judging made a sweet debut of sorts at the 56th annual
AACA Hershey Fall Meet. More than 1,200 entries in all categories of antique
automobiles were represented at this year¹s car show, held on the event¹s
final day, October 8, 2011. This year marked the first appearance by
Hagerty¹s Youth Judging team at the event.

Hagerty¹s Operation Ignite! allowed 15 young judges the rare opportunity to
learn about and experience some really great cars at Hershey?vehicles that
included a 1911 Model T touring car, a 1963 Sunbeam Alpine and even a 1926
Pontiac Boat Tail Speedster ³Hill Climber.²

The Concierge¹s Corner: What¹s on your bookshelf?

The HVA¹s Answer Man, Glenn Arlt, gives his recommendations on three
³must-have² titles for every restoration and research library.

Around the offices of the Historic Vehicle Association, everyone pretty much
agrees that what Glenn Arlt doesn¹t know about old vehicles probably isn¹t
worth knowing. HVA members who have phoned in with questions?everything from
identifying vehicles in old photos to help finding sources for rare
parts?come away wondering how one man can become so wise and all-knowing.
Arlt¹s answer to that is simple: The Answer Man is also a bookworm.

Research Resource: Gilmore Car Museum

The archival home of Tucker¹s famous ³Car of The Future,² this Disneyland
for old car lovers just outside the ³Other Motor City² also preserves the
history of America¹s most ³checkered² automotive past.

A short 15 minute drive from Kalamazoo, Michigan, there¹s a small country
town called Hickory Corners. Here, on 90-acres of pastoral farmland, sits
one of North America¹s premier automotive history destinations.

It¹s a strangely serene setting for a car museum that has seen a flurry of
activity in the past two years. Despite all the headlines declaring
Michigan¹s failing economy and tourism in a slump, the Gilmore Car Museum is
in a phase of major expansion, beginning with the recently completed
Franklin Automobile Collection and the addition of a new Restoration and
Education Center.
