If cars ran on natural gas what would it cost to fill up (on average)?
Are your MPG the same?
What would the cost per gallon be?
natural gas will go as low as 35 cents a lb in Utah to as high as $2.35 in like Arizona. different states have such different demands for the natural gas that it fluctuates heavily depending on the area you are in.
Should the Palestinian Territories declare statehood without further delay?
Most UN members would certainly recognize it and they would have full legal control over their territory and airspace as well as the waters off Gaza with their natural gas fields. Think of the advantages. Every zionist in what would then be Palestine would automatically become an illegal alien subject to immediate deportation,and yes,that’s international law,and a fundamental principle of sovereignty. Why wait?
Yes. They should have done it right after their only free election in early 2006. But it’s never too late.
I don’t understand the Pokie’s answer. The West Bank is a part of the Palestinian Territories. I thought that was well known.
I don’t understand Shay’s either. The Palestinian Territories are recognized by the UN and all it’s members,including the U.S. It has never been a part of the (unfortunately) legal entity known as "Israel". When did the PT merge merge with Israel?
News to me.
Is it safe to use copper pipe with natural gas?
My house is 40+ years old and has a natural gas hot water heater, stove, and furnace. There are copper pipes running through the attic to connect the furnace to the other two appliances and our a/c repair man recently told us it is unsafe to have copper pipes when using natural gas, based on the fact that additives in the gas will cause the inside of the copper pipe to corrode and flake off. Is this accurate and should I have the pipes replaced, or is he just trying to sell me something I really don’t need? Please help!
OK! Well you certainly got a lot of differing opinions here. To let you know, copper has been used for gas pipe for years. At one time, the smell that is added to natural gas, so you can detect it, had a high concentration of corrosive additives. Thiophane or t-butyl mercaptan is used to add the smell to natural gas, because natural gas is odorless. The high concentrations were causing the copper pipe to flake off inside the pipe, and the flakes were causing stoppages in the small orifices, that are used in appliances. The gas industry has reduced the amount of these additives, so now there isn’t a problem anymore. The reason odor additives were introduced into natural gas, stemmed from an explosion in 1937, in Rusk county, Texas. Over 300 students and teachers were killed on a Friday afternoon, when the 1 year old school was leveled when a gas leak, in the crawl space of the building, exploded when a shop teacher turned on an electric saw. It was the New london school. Go online and look at the pictures and read the stories of the few survivors.
how do i convert a natural gas vehicle back to regular gas?
Most of the time, when a vehicle is changed from gasoline to propane or natural gas, it’s configured as dual fuel and there is a way to switch from natural gas/propane to gasoline. If that is what yours is, just leave it switched to gasoline and drive it. If not, no one has any idea. You will have to find whoever converted it over and ask, or take it to your mechanic and ask.
