So where does Union 76 get it's stuff from? I use it in my Pathfinder, Road Runner, Jeep, and Robot. I think it's a pretty good fuel. Also, while I can't back this up, I hear that the pacific coast, like Kalifornia that I'm in - gets all it's petroleum from Alaska anyhow... and that other countries like Japan won't buy it because it has too much sulfur content!
I'm converting my Jeep back to 24V. All that I need to get now is a wiring harness (which is not a problem finding, but I will need a wiring diagram or some layout drawing), and a 24V generator. Any good leads on NOS generators? SHOULD I go for a NOS Gen?
