| Can't
we just get rid of ethanol? |
| By Jay Leno |
|
|
Jay Leno went through the 70s, the 80s and most of the
90s without ever having read much about car fires. Now
suddenly, they are happening all over the place. Here’s
one reason: The ethanol in modern gasoline — about
10 percent in many states — is so corrosive, it eats
through either the fuel-pump diaphragm, old rubber fuel
lines or a pot metal part, then leaks out on a hot engine... |

| All
I want is to be able to choose when to use ethanol-laced
gasoline |
| By Jay Leno |
|
|
No other column written by Jay Leno generated as much
controversy as the one with the "Can’t We Just
Get Rid of Ethanol?" piece. He has an ethanol-fuel
vehicle — the E85 Corvette — and it runs fine
on ethanol. "We built it that way. It’s fast!"
he says. Today’s cars with modern fuel systems run
fine on ethanol-laced gasoline. But his old cars don’t
and he has no choice. |

"I was rummaging through
some old files and came across a letter from Bill Boddy
stating that on Saturday, 5 July, 1924, Mr. L. J. B.
Lapizburn raced his 1923 Bentley at Brooklands in some
famous company."

"Hamish Moffat found
the car in a Welsh field in the 1950s. The car has now
been lightly restored and wings to the original style
have been made and fitted. The original body has been
found to be one manufactured by Harrison and is still
on the car."

| How
they are??? |
|
|
"Hello VintageBentleys.org,
So sorry to trouble you but just a hope you can put
my mind at rest. On 1st May 2015 there was a dreadful
road accident outside our property. My husband and I
were first on the scene and spent time with the people
involved until help arrived.
The road was closed for hours and it is only now that
telegraph poles have been replaced and we have Internet
and phones again.
The one vehicle was a Bentley Reg CWO
121 and we understand the driver was Vivian Bush.
He and his lady passenger both left in 2 air ambulances
and we simply wish to send our best wishes to them and
hope that they are ok. They were both in a very bad
way when we last saw them.
Sorry to trouble you but after finding pictures of the
car on your site thought perhaps somebody may known
how they are.
Kind regards
Sally & Dave Hiams" |
