 |

It's simple, really. I fill my tanks with conventional avgas, a hydrocarbon fuel. Add a few drops of the catalytic enzyme, treehuggin AlGorase, and the avgas is cleaved into hydrogen and carbon. Simply sump the powdered carbon black from the fuel drain (wear a mask, it's dusty) and you're good to go. Some claim that if you let the perssure build sufficiently in the tanks, you can drain off the carbon as graphite or even a fine grit of industrial grade diamonds, but I don't think you can believe everything you read on the internet (or even on the RVSoutheast List). Anyway, my wing tanks aren't built to take that kind of pressure, so I'm not going to try for the diamond thing. It's bad enough the way the plane tries to float around inside the hangar when the hydrogen liberation process is complete; be sure to tie down securely before attempting this. We don't want any repeats of the Hindenburg incident.

I think I have met my match in the BS arena.
