I had never seen this listed on the forum before so thought it might be of interest. It is a dummed down version of a lot of what Skypup has been saying and pointing us too for some time.

It explained fractional distillation much better than I have seen.

Enjoy.

Fuel technology progress has been amazing this last hundred years, too bad it totally left TB in the dust though....
