	I'm guessing your neighbors won't appreciate you building a refinery in your back yard, the tankers bringing in crude and all those nasty smells. You may have trouble with the zoning board. Why not just buy it like everyone else that doesn't have $100,000,000.00 to invest in their own personal cracking tower? __________________ The hardest thing to overcome, is not knowing that you don't know.
