Asbestos brakes, clutches and gaskets
For those who don't know, asbestos is NOT BANNED from use in automotive brakes, clutches, transmissions and even gaskets. It was banned for about 2 years but has been legal for use again since 1991. Follow safe handling practices when working with the dust from those types of components.

Re: Asbestos brakes, clutches and gaskets
If I understand it, alcohol in gas is a state item, not a federal one. May be wrong, the below states the reason behind it, all while reducing MPG....
"Many states and municipalities have mandated that all gasoline fuel be blended with 10 percent alcohol (usually ethanol) during some or all of the year. This is to reduce pollution and allows these areas to comply with federal pollution limits. Because alcohol is partially oxygenated, it produces less overall pollution, including ozone. In some areas (California in particular) the regulations may also require other formulations or added chemicals that reduce pollution, but add complexity to the fuel distribution and increase the cost of the fuel." |

I am not sure why but I thought it was banned from brakes a long, long time ago. Really, we can send a man to the moon, but we cant find a better substitute for asbestos. My wife actually has an old cook book that says when the cookies are done baking, take them out, and place the cookies on an asbestos sheet. Yum-Yum. Last edited by old31; 10-02-2016 at 05:34 PM. |
