1. Venezhela blames the...US for its economic problems. Says it's cruel... 2. These days, when you put "gasoline" in your car, it's mostly... water.

Too bad Venezuela didn’t have a source of fuel. Some natural resource they could use...

Butt... butt... That’s not REAL socialism. Let’s scoop up the BLM and Antifa crow and send them all down there to show them n how it’s done. I’m sure that they’d be welcome with open arms and parades.

We have more in common with Venezuela than we thought: our riots are mostly peaceful. Their gasoline is mostly water.

“It only takes a cup of water to disable a modern engine....”

exactly ... so it’s total nonsense that when you put gasoline in your car in venezuela, it’s mostly water ...

I remember an ad that ended with “...there’s no water in our gas!”
Don’t answer questions nobody was asking.
Doing so tends to raise questions you don’t want to answer.

Yep, contemporary engines are definitely not water tolerant! This has not always been the case though.

Through the first half of the 20th century, when you got out into the oil fields “drip gasoline” was not uncommon. This condensate was drained from drop legs on natural gas lines running from the well head. Many a rural and oilfield family or teenager would run the family car or truck on it on occasion.

In the mid-60s my father and I ran out of gas in Pawnee County Oklahoma. An oilfield pumper stopped to help and offered us some drip gas. So, we poured a couple of gallons into the Mercury. The car started up but missed and smoked like crazy plus the exhaust was quite a stink from the high sulfur. However, we didn’t have to walk 5 miles to town! Lol.... I’ve wondered of the knock sensor on contemporary engines would tweak the engine tune enough to handle drop gas?

I own a M35A2 Deuce multi fuel engine....I can burn it and a bunch of other crap too but Id better run some #2 fuel oil to clean out the IP later. I use it for getting my firewood, and plowing deep snow.

My favorite Venezuela stories are the ones about people breaking into zoos and stealing the animals...for food!

Lions are big fans of wildebeest...I wonder what Venezuelans think of it.
