That's because they figured out that the soap is mixing with the fuel and
taking it to the bottom, polluting the water more, which is what they were
trying to avoid. Better to let the fuel lay on top of the water where it can
evaborate into the air, thereby not hurting the water.   Has nothing to do
with the soap hurting the enviornment.
