Semi Trailer Full of Diesel Wrecked - Fire

I look out the window and see black smoke today, talk about WWIII or unburnt sooty diesel.

I take that corner 2 times a day, morning and evening. Its a bad corner, even in a pickup. Theres been times in the past I had to keep even with big trucks and see them lean in the corner. I'm just glad no one else got hurt.

"truck carried 7,600 gallons of diesel fuel and 852 gallons of ethanol"

Pray for the driver. Hats off to those Fire Firefighters.

Wow.

I'll be praying for the driver, I've heard somewhere that low-sulfur diesel is more volitile in transit than 500ppm diesel was, anyone else know if it's true? Whatever, having several hundred gallons of ethonal certainly got that blaze started.

That's just enough excuse for them to raise diesel prices some more.
