perhaps the irony slipped by you, jim?
Not only would they "clean the plugs" on a diesel before they take off
on a trip like that, but they'll often do a teardown between such trips.
Maybe replace the liners, pistons, bearings, whatever shows signs of
wear. Notice he didn't say spark plugs. Diesel injectors could also be
called plugs since they, just like spark plugs, *plug* a hole in the
cylinder head. Glow plugs are also called plugs because they also plug
a hole.
Your mistake is assuming that he meant "spark" plugs when he said plugs.
And from there you took it to the height of stupidity by claiming:
"The Andrea Gail had a gasoline engine."
The only irony is that you're able to figure out how to post to a
newsgroup.
