[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 801375, member: 694"] This is nothing new as it is WWII technology. Through a catayltic process they crack/convert parafin chain hydrocarbons into isomers. We have even better technology today and are not buiding new refineries due to EPA regs. A typical 500,000 barrel a day refinery will produce 575,000 barrels of product. This involves the whole spectrum of hydrocarons from converting iso-butane to tri methyl-pentane to cracking diesel and gas oil to gasoline. That is what fluffing the barrel is. Think of it as you have a bunch of molocules that look like spagetti and you convert them into little round balls, you have the same number of carbon molocules that take up more volume. This is why gasoline is sold by the gallon not by the pound. The same refinery I mentioned above if it charged 100 pounds in 100 pounds come out for every barrel charged 1.15 barrels come out.
