The pre-Trump feds cutting the FAA’s budget, then deciding the industry could regulate its own manufacturing tests didn’t help either.
It’s that kind of failure of leadership that proves gov’ts are no longer there for the people … only the big businesses with money.
I dunno. In my bad youth we managed to seize a nasty person’s engine using sugar. But that was back in the 70’s with leaded gas.
I would think it would mess things up still tho. Canada’s oil is heavy crude and needs additives to flow (esp in cold weather). Once the oil has passed through the pipeline and enters the refinery it is heated, which would dissolve the sugar. Then further refining occurs with pressure and heat, etc.
I’m assuming testing would occur at each stage to verify the chemical composition, but as the sugar crystals would remain solid untill heated it ‘might’ make it to the refinery.
