Mexican Gasoline

[McRib]

My guess is it is not what they putting in, but what they aren't removing, and what the actual chemistry is in their blend.
Gasoline isn't just one compound, its dozens. The gasoline in the US, and particularly Cal and NY, and some other major cities in the country is a completely different formulation than other parts. But all gas in the US is what they call "reformulated gasoline". If you sold this stuff in 60s and 70s, you would go to jail because it doesn't come near the definition of gasoline as described by the feds back then.

When cat converters first arrived, the smell from cars was disgusting. When the sulfer in the fuel hits the converter, along with any unburnt hydrocarbons, the heat in the convertor makes it form hydrogen sulfide. Rotten eggs.

My guess is that Premex doesn't go thru the process to eliminate the sulfer in the fuel and that's what you are smelling.

Way above my pay grade buddy. Lol. I just put the shit in my car. Lol

If you drove a car in the mid 70s when converters first came out, you'd know that smell very well.
But like I said, its not what they are putting in, its what they aren't removing.
You hang around a refinery and you see tanker trucks hauling molten sulfer out about once an hour. Don't ask where they are taking it, I have no clue. I just know between the diesel and the gasoline, they are removing one shit load of sulfer every day.

There is a place down in the LA ports that sells sulfur in powder form...yellow shit stank to high hell...they did nothing to even try to cover it....it smells like rotten eggs, and worse....

A lot of that is headed over seas for steel production. Huge piles of coke from the refineries down there for the same reason. But it doesn't smell.

Yeah, but the rail doesn't go by those...it goes right by the sulfur company, and I almost always got stopped next to it. If I didn't there is a rail crossing close by and the speed restriction over it was 10mph..either way...it was gross.....
