Retrofit Kits for Flex Pumps Will Provide Consumers with Greater Choice and savings With increasing consumer demand for higher blends of ethanol, following the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval of E15 for commercial sale, several fuel dispensing equipment manufacturers have introduced new products for retailers to modify existing fuel dispensers to accommodate higher ethanol blends. Increased availability of higher ethanol blends will provide Americans with a greater choice and cost savings at the pump. “The announcement of these new products is a tremendous step forward in bringing higher ethanol blends to consumers who want to both pay less and support the American economy – and family farmer – when fueling up,” stated Tom Buis CEO of Growth Energy. By Gary Truitt – Jul 26, 2012 SHARE SHARE Additionally, Davis Airtech recently introduced a new line of Flex Fuel meters, certified by the National Conference of Weights and Measures. These meters are capable of fuel blends from E15 all the way to E85. This product is also a great addition to the growing list of innovative products that will allow pump modification on several brands of fuel dispensers. Commitment to increasing ethanol blends, such as the introduction of these kits, reflects the overwhelming acceptance of higher blends of ethanol as a high octane, high performance alternative to foreign oil. Americans are increasingly eager to use renewable biofuels like ethanol to displace our dependence on oil, which burns dirtier, reducing the quality of our air and lines the pockets of OPEC.

Source: Growth Energy With the recent approval by the EPA, 72 percent of the vehicles on the road today can use E15, and there are over nine million Flex Fuel vehicles that can use blends up to E85. The development of these products exemplifies the growing demand of retailers to offer higher blends of ethanol to their customers. “These products will modify existing pumps at a fraction of the cost of replacing them, bridging the infrastructure challenges of preventing higher blends of ethanol in the marketplace,” Buis continued. “Not only are these products helping displace foreign oil and supporting rural America, they are also promoting a cleaner burning American fuel and an industry that fosters economic growth and energy independence,” Buis concluded. Facebook Twitter This week, Gilbarco Veeder-Root released a pioneering and cost-effective retrofit kit for flex pumps certified by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL). This kit will allow for ethanol blends of up to 25 percent ethanol in several of the pumps used by retailers and fuel dispensers.

Billy Lee names strong Limerick side to take on Wicklow in crucial Division 3 clash Print The Committee held an emergency meeting of members this morning, called by the committee Chair, Kieran O’Donnell TD, following Ryanair’s announcement to close its Cork and Shannon Airports bases for the winter period as well as the on-going debate on the EU traffic light system for air travel.Sign up for the weekly Limerick Post newsletter Sign Up The committee had also written to the Minister for Transport, Eamon Ryan TD and Government asking;Government to adopt the European Commission’s traffic light system for common rules on travel and provide an update to the Committee on its timeframe for implementation.In addition, the Joint Committee calls on the Government to provide details of its plans for and progress in implementing testing at Irish airports.Committee Chair, Kieran O’Donnell TD said: “The Covid-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on the aviation sector which is worth billions of euro to the economy and supports upwards of 140,000 jobs. While Ryanair had threatened the closure of its Cork and Shannon bases, confirmation of the move today and the subsequent direct and no doubt indirect job losses is nonetheless shocking.“The closure of the Ryanair bases threatens the viability of Cork and Shannon airports and will have a devastating impact on the local economy, with many families impacted by redundancies and unpaid leave.

DC Police Department via TwitterBy BILL HUTCHINSON, ABC News(WASHINGTON) — A stolen SUV police described as a “vehicle of interest” in a car-to-car shooting this month that left a 15-month-old boy dead in Washington, D.C., has been recovered and detectives are scouring it for clues in the search for the killer, authorities said.The Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police Department announced on Saturday that they have recovered the gray 2011 BMW X5 SUV with a temporary Virginia tag number that was seen fleeing the shooting that left Carmelo Duncan dead. The discovery of the car is the latest development in the slaying that has outraged residents of the nation’s capital and was condemned by Mayor Muriel Bowser as a “level of senselessness (that) is impossible to process.”“We believe it is connected to the case & need your help,” police said on Twitter, where they posted photos of the BMW and pleaded for people to come forward if they recognize the vehicle or have information on who was using it on the night the toddler was fatally shot.Police said the vehicle was stolen on Dec. 1, a day before the child’s death.The SUV, according to police, was found abandoned about a block from where the shooting occurred.Metropolitan Police Chief Peter Newsham said forensic evidence indicates that more than one gun was used in the shooting.The toddler, according to police, was shot multiple times around 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 2 when a vehicle pulled up alongside his family’s car and gunfire erupted on a busy stretch of Southern Avenue Southeast in the city’s Capitol Heights neighborhood, near the Prince George’s County, Maryland, border.The boy was rushed to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Newsham said a second child was also in the car but was not injured.A $60,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the shooter is being offered by the police department, the Washington Field Division of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the FBI Washington Field Office.”There are simply no words for the sense of outrage that we should all feel at the loss of this beautiful baby boy, Carmelo,” Bowser said at a news conference a day after the shooting.“We talk a lot about gun violence each and every day, and the havoc and pain that guns are causing in our city,” Bowser added. ”Now, we have lost a 15-month-old precious boy, and we need to spend more time talking about the victims. The level of senselessness is impossible to process. And we need everybody’s help to bring justice to this baby Carmelo and his family, and to get a very dangerous person off the streets.”Newsham said Carmelo is the youngest victim of gun violence in D.C. this year. He said detectives suspect the vehicle the child was in, which was being driven by his father, was targeted.Hundreds of city residents and community activists incensed by the killing held a vigil and march on Dec. 5 near a makeshift memorial for Carmelo. The crowd yelled the child’s name in unison as they marched and called for justice.Copyright © 2020, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
Sundry Photography/iStock(NEW YORK) — A man has been sentenced to three months in federal prison after shooting an elephant seal in the head with a handgun while it rested peacefully on a California beach.The incident originally occurred on Sept. 28, 2019, when 30-year-old Jordan Gerbich from Santa Maria, California drove to an elephant seal viewing area near the Piedras Blancas Marine Reserve and Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary with a .45 caliber pistol and a flashlight.Gerbich subsequently approached one of the elephant seals as the animal was resting on the beach and killed it by shooting it directly in the head with a single gunshot, according to a statement from the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.“The next day, the elephant seal was discovered on the beach with a bullet hole in its head,” the statement read.“It remains unclear what motivated [Gerbich] to commit such an act; nevertheless, [Gerbich] knew it was wrong,” prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memorandum.According to the United States Department of Justice, Gerbich, who now lives in Coalville, Utah, pleaded guilty in December 2020 to one misdemeanor count of illegally taking a marine mammal.It was announced on Monday that Gerbich was sentenced by United States District Judge Dale S. Fischer to three months in federal prison for the heinous act.“Judge Fischer also ordered Gerbich to be placed on one year of supervised release following his release from prison, serve a three-month term of home detention, perform 120 hours of community service, and pay a $1,000 fine,” said the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California in a statement.According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Northern elephant seals are a protected species under the Marine Mammal Protection Act and live along North America’s Pacific coast.“Northern elephant seals were once thought to be extinct due to commercial sealing in the 1800s,” the NOAA says on their website. “Populations of northern elephant seals in the U.S. and Mexico were all originally derived from a few hundred individuals surviving in Mexico. Its population began to steadily increase in the early 1900s.”The NOAA’s Office of Law Enforcement investigated this case while the California Department of Fish and Wildlife provided substantial assistance, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California.Copyright © 2021, ABC Audio.
