Yes the manifold of your gasoline guzzler gets well up there ,without to many problems ,if the cooling system does not work properly she soon turns red hot ,and that makes 500 to 700 degrees seem cool sam

CH4......The temperature caused by gasoline during combustion in a engine and the operating temperature of a SOFC have nothing to do with each other....The heat is used to strip hydrogen out of a fossil fuel. Methanol appears not to need much heat...but a road block to using gasoline has been the amount of heat required to reform it....A number of company's are making progress on a separate reformer...that strips hydrogen out of gasoline for use in PEM fuel cells. The advantage of the high operating temperature of a SOFC is that this heat may be used to strip hydrogen out of gasoline inside the cell without the additional reformer you will need with a PEM......What methanol plants are you talking about....Methanex?..In Canada? Right now Methanol is a favourite for Pem fuel cells but their are other more suitable choices available......On the Ballard board on Yahoo I have a number of posts in regards to Methanol and F-T diesel which is also made from natural gas. This technology is called "gas to liquids"....The posts were on June 19th or 20th.......raisin
