^^ very true, ethanol doesn't travel well, if at all through pipeline. The problem is ethanol its self, nothing more than a pipe dream-farmer pandering product that shouldn't exist in the first place. Bio diesel's not as bad but in the same catagory.
There's also been a crude oil derailment too, that stuff goes well through pipeline.

Keystone Leak Worse Than Thought
The rupture, which went undetected by pipeline owner TransCanada, has spilled roughly 17,000 gallons of oil in South Dakota.
A leak in the Keystone pipeline is worse than first believed, spilling much more oil than first reported.
Nearly 17,000 gallons of oil has leaked in South Dakota since Saturday, pipeline owner TransCanada says – up from the 187 gallons the company initially reported to federal authorities.
TransCanada has "yet to pinpoint the source," the company told CNN Money, but it maintains the leak has been "controlled," and a section of the pipeline was shut down after the spill was discovered.
The leak was not reported by the Keystone pipeline's spill detection system, but instead was discovered by a passerby, according to Chris Nelson, chairman of the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission.
Keystone, which runs about 2,150 miles from tar sands in Alberta, Canada, to refineries in the U.S. Midwest, is less than a decade old. After being commissioned in 2010, it reportedly recorded 35 leaks in its first year alone, including a spill of 21,000 gallons of oil in North Dakota.
Nonetheless, TransCanada maintained that a planned $5.4 billion addition to the pipeline network, Keystone XL, would "set the gold standard for a safe and reliable 21st century pipeline," as it described in a statement in January 2015.
President Barack Obama rejected the Keystone XL project in November, citing concerns about climate change.
The company is now seeking to build the Energy East pipeline, a 2,800-mile project which would carry 1.1 million barrels of crude per day to refineries in eastern Canada. The company also sued the Obama administration in January, arguing it overstepped its constitutional authority in blocking Keystone XL.

Good thing they have safeguards in place.
