Coming soon: Tampa gets nation's first ethanol pipeline

Florida will soon be home to the nation's first ethanol pipeline. The 104-mile Central Florida Pipeline has carried gasoline from the Port of Tampa to the Orlando International Airport since 1965. Workers have been upgrading the 16-inch pipeline in preparation for its first batch of ethanol, slated to begin flowing in the third quarter of this year.
