Swift Fuel The Best Alternative to Gas?
Filed Under (General News) by April

We’re always hearing about how biodiesel and bioethanol are the future when it comes to fuel but now it seems there is a company called Swift Enterprises that have released Swift Fuel who are claiming that they have the answer to our shortage of fuel. Now, first of all, I’m so fed up of all these new products coming out all claiming to be environmentally friendly. We go jumping into the deep end assuming that it all tickety boo. But then we find out that it’s not so great because of the way they are made and how we now have a food crisis on our hands and the rainforests are being cut down to make way for palm and soy plantations.

So what I want to know is how Swift Fuel is any better. It’s derived from ethanol afterall and that’s made from plants. So how does that help us? I really don’t know. Apparently the plants used are grown on soils that aren’t so fussy meaning they can be grown in a wider variety of locations. I would really like to believe that Swift Fuel is the future but I’m going to need a lot more convincing.

Swift fuel has been proven in small engine aircrafts to be 20% more efficient, can be generated from any biomass including sorgum, and they are in the process of working with the FAA on engine testing for airline aircraft and small engine aircraft. Look for a breakthrough in the next six months and an announcement from the FAA that this fuel is approved, more efficient, and less costly than other airline fuel. There are no plans to produce standard automobile gasoline, but if they can capture a share of the market in the air it will alleviate speculation on the oil market, and generate optomism going forward. Ethanol on the other hand must be mixed with gasoline to work. Swift fuel is completely biodiesel and will work without additives in existing hardware.

I know of this Swift company and have done much research. It is not an “ethanol” based fuel at all. It can be made from crab grass that grows in the desert, or kelp from the sea. I went to an open-house at Purdue University and was blown away. This new fuel also gives our cars and planes 25% better fuel economy.

Hi April, found your blog on BlogCatalog. I had not heard of Swift Fuel before reading this. I used to be a real nut on the whole oil crisis, but I found the pursuit to be a tedious drag. I believe it to be modern propaganda to have people believe that our economic system is crashing.
