Tires produce the same energy as petroleum and approximately 25% more energy than coal. Burning tires is lower on the hierarchy of reducing waste than recycling, but it is better than placing the tire waste in a landfill or dump, where there is a possibility for uncontrolled tire fires or the harboring of disease vectors such as mosquitoes.

It is known by many names including propane, LPG (liquified propane gas), LPA (liquid propane autogas), Autogas and others. Propane is a hydrocarbon fuel and is a member of the natural gas family. Propane as an automotive fuel shares many of the physical attributes of gasoline while reducing tailpipe emissions and well to wheel emissions overall.
For 1985, a 2.2-liter gasoline engine was introduced, raising output to 100 hp. [2] Renault sourced the engine from its North American car line (the 18i and Fuego); in a change welcomed by buyers, the 2.2-liter engine was paired to a 3-speed automatic transmission. Though 25% more powerful, the new engine added over 400 pounds of curb weight to ...

Resurfaced study claims EV tires cause 1,850 times more particulate pollution than gasoline engine exhausts — and California is being slammed for 'trying to conceal' it.
It can simultaneously desalinate, disinfect and decontaminate water at a remarkably low cost: less than one cent per liter. It can also generate a small amount of thermoelectricity, potentially ...
The most commonly utilized emulsified fuel is a water-in-diesel emulsion (also known as hydrodiesel). [1] In these emulsions, the two phases are immiscible liquids—water and oil. Emulsified fuels can be categorized as either microemulsions or conventional emulsions (sometimes called macroemulsions to distinguish them from microemulsions).
An external fill point for filling the fresh water tank made up of a large diameter hose that runs into the tank and incorporates a hole in the side of the RV which allows water to be fed, via a water hose, into the tank using gravity alone. A smaller diameter 'vent' hose is usually installed alongside to allow air to escape the tank when filling.
