Amish Gas

[Fuzzy]

I pulled into the Lancaster, PA Costco to get gas. This Amish guy pulled in behind me. Now I'm worried what kind of gas I pumped. Definitely a different formulation of fuel than I am used to.

Certainly......no alcohol

 

[miss demeaner]

i suppose it would depend on where he stuck the nozzle how much you had to worry....

Just be happy he did not pull in the wrong way.

Did you tell him you had 47 more horses than he did?

He's probably part of the Amish Mafia (remember that TV show) getting gas for the generator he's gonna use at the Rumspringa party he's throwing this weekend at a secret location

Either that or he's going to use it to blow up the other guy's buggy that is trying to move in on his territory.... Amish Mafia are viscous!

If there was a diesel pump, he may have been getting diesel for their kerosene heaters/lamps-diesel will work in those (you can also run kerosene in diesel tractors)-I have done both.. I have a kerosene heater I was as a backup in case power goes off during the winter (all electric house) ran out of kerosene, used diesel, no issue. I have had kerosene left over in the spring and ran it in my tractor-no problem with either.

When I saw the thread title I thought it would be a picture of hay.

Maybe the fact that gas is now made from corn, and horses eat corn........

There are some exceptions apparently allowed to their machinery rules. For example passing through farm country there were many 4 horse teams pulling equipment like harrows or hay rakes. One I passed was pulling a hay baler. The baler had a gas engine to work it. Apparently the PTO of the 4 horse team couldn't run the baler mechanisms.
