Depends on the type and the additives. If natural, then it's probably not all that bad if it burns cleanly. Although I'm guessing it's more likely to be synthetic, which puts you into problems. But then even that has to be taken with a grain of salt. Sulphur Dioxide emissions from vulcanized rubber might actually be beneficial to the environment if it's released in the stratosphere.


That is utter nonsense!

There is not the slightest difference between natural and synthetic fuels. Either one can be toxic or not.

And good luck even defining "natural". Crude oil is natural - so I guess it gets a free pass? Uranium is natural too.
