[edit]Twin-fuel engines
Code named Bobcat, the new twin-fuel engine from Ford is based on a 5.0L V8 engine block but
uses E85 cylinder injection and gasoline port injection. The engine was co-developed with Ethanol
Boosting Systems, LLC of Cambridge, Massachusetts, which calls its trademarked process DI Octane
Boost. The direct injection of ethanol increases the octane of regular gasoline from 88-91 octaneto more
than 150 octane. The Bobcat project was unveiled to the United States Department of Energy and
the SAE International in April 2009.[52][53]

The EPA provides detailed information of the risks as well as recommended maintenance procedures [2]. If
the tap water contains a lot of minerals, also known as hard water, then the ultrasonic or impeller
humidifiers will produce a "white dust" (calcium is the most common mineral in tap water), which usually
spreads over furniture, and is attracted to static electricity generating devices such asCRT monitors. The
white dust can usually be prevented by using distilled water and a demineralization cartridge in ultrasonic
humidifiers.
