To Swiftly Go

This is cool: an alternative to both gasoline and regular ethanol. Gasoline is bad: it pads the pockets of Bush/Cheney/Terrorists; it's expense and it's finite. Ethanol is bad: it uses food crops that people would rather eat; it produces a low octane; it will cause valve wear in a manner inferior to regular gasoline. What if there were something that could power internal combustion engines and not fund planes crashing into buildings?

Enter Swift Fuels.

Swift Fuel is created as a replacement for aircraft fuel. Through a patented process, Swift Fuel is converted enthanol that does not create engine wear like ethanol; and it has a high enough octane to keep planes in the air. The current fuel used in piston fired aircraft is 100 Low Lead (100LL). The United States and Europe have banned the use of 100LL due to tetraethyl lead which is needed to bring the octane number to 100. There currently is a moratorium on this ban until 2010. Swift has this solution.

Unlike the current process of refining crude oil to arrive at a final fuel, we synthetically create hydrocarbons from bio-mass. This creation method is superior to the existing refining method because we maintain control over the entire process giving us the flexibility to meet or exceed current ASTM specifications.

The advantages of Swift Bio-Synthetic Fuel are:

• Seamless replacement of 100LL (no engine modifications)
• 15-25% increase in range over 100LL (no oxygenates)
• 20% drop in pollutants over the current 100LL fuel
• 15% more volumetric energy than 100LL
• No need for stabilizers or additives
