Olympic Runners ‘The Bitch’ / ‘Energy Beam’ is due on 12in early July, while Pete Winfield has left the group to concentrate on sessions and his solo career. Switch ‘Best Beat In Town’ is coupled on US 12in with their older ‘We Like To Party. Miracle Records’ new 12in sleeves have a nice ‘30s comic book-type design.

Detroit Spinners ‘Are You Ready For Love’ (Atlantic K 11286) is indeed on commercial UK 12in, while Eddy Grant ‘Frontline’ is now only on full 12in-length 7in. Using a fuel treatment can chemically clear out the water and revive the engine.Joe Thomas of ‘Make Your Move’ and ‘Plato’s Retreat’ fame, as reported by members of the Floaters, was senselessly shot and killed while leaving a Detroit nightclub recently. But even this isn't the end of the road for your engine. The engine is dead in the water, you might say. The water gets into the engine and, if there's enough water in the cylinders, the fuel does not combust. ![]() If you pour a lot of water into a fuel tank, it sinks to the bottom of the tank. Remember that engines use combustion to make the wheels move, which means thousands of little explosions in the cylinders. So, what will mess up an engine if it's added to the fuel? Water. Again, it merely requires cleaning out the tank in either case. Modern fuel pumps are electronic, but it's possible they could be foiled by a glob of sugar. The sugar wasn't getting into the engine, but neither was the gasoline the engine needed to run. Fuel pumps were mechanical and located at the bottom of the fuel tank, so if there was a big glob of sugar there, it would stop up the flow of the fuel. That might be how the myth got started in the 1950s. Annoying for sure, but not damaging the engine. You'll just have more undissolved sugar sludge at the bottom of the tank. Even if you have less than a full tank and someone dumps sugar in there, the fluid can only incorporate so much sugar. It was less than a teaspoon for 15 gallons of gas – more than a full tank in many cars. ![]() He measured how much undissolved sugar spun out of the fluid and then calculated how much sugar remained dissolved in the gasoline. A University of California, Berkeley researcher tested this myth experimentally way back in 1994 by putting sugar into gasoline and then spinning it in a centrifuge. It just sinks to the bottom of the gas tank. Then there's the fact that plain old sugar does not dissolve in gasoline. So if there were little sugar crystals in your gasoline, the fuel filter would stop them before they could damage the engine. This does exactly what it says: filters out any debris or impurities that might have gotten into your gas tank somehow. ![]()
