New in the past couple of decades, not new as in just-last-year.

What is different is horizontal drilling, that was the "new" game changer.
BTW, I just clean the stuff up after you burn it in an engine.
Cheers,

Thanks Phil,The show was fantastic, made even more so by getting to help out. Involved is usually better than being just a spectator. Please keep us on the volunteer list for next year. I know your head is still spinning with details from this year but, has a theme for next year been discussed?FWIW, oil companies have been hydro-fracking for decades. Its NOT new technology. Its just pumping water and sand under pressure, into a reservoir, opening tiny cracks and propping them open a few thousandths of an inch with sand grains. Doing so allows the nasty old oil and gas to flow out, replaced by water. As such, fracking 'cleans' the rock. :-P-rickPS: I'm a geophysicist, not a petroleum engineer.

RUMOR HAS IT that ROL has ( under development ) a regenerative power system fueled by an easily created by a derivative of H2o and natural gas( Fracked in Pa. ) at a 20 to 1 ( H2o to gas) that recaptures the purified water in potable form.Unfortunately he is unable to further develop this as he is being monitored by an un named agency that has the ability to limit his acquisition of orphaned cars.Send him your .02$ and hope for the best!BTW, Rick & Nancy are the best, they jumped into our volunteer group at Radnor and made a differenceThanks guys see you in Houston and at Radnor next year
GO TO: facebook.com/philvilleUSAHope you did not miss it:Radnor Hunt 17th. AnnualConcours d'EleganceFor more information, go to:Hello Friends,I'm just back from Pennsylvania where I attended the Radnor Hunt Concours with Phil Tegtmeyer. Not a single engine swap on the show field. Lots of classics though.Pretty hard to believe how cavalier we talk about swapping engines in a Rolls or Bentley. After all, the engine is the heart of that (or any) car! Perhaps we should ask a Spitfire pilot if they'd prefer a Chevy lump over that Merlin? Or maybe a 427 in place of that high maintenance V12 in the Daytona?With all that said, I must confess. In my even-more-stupid youth, I once put a Chevy engine in a Jaguar Mk II. It did run kinda-okay but sounded like an Impala. Sold the bastardized Jag for $1500. The buyer had a 3.8 liter XJ engine ready to retrofit.Engine swaps are bad. If all you want is 'go', buy a Corvette and keep your classic unmolested.2 cents please.-rickSent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE Smartphone_________________________________________________________________
