Default The Andrea Gail had a gasoline engine

there you have it, folks, schlackoff telling us that the diesel engines used
by
commercial fishermen are so unreliable that those engine have "to be torn

down"
after every trip to sea.


There's your reading comprehension problem shining through again. The
reason those diesel engines are so reliable is that they are usually
serviced after every long trip to sea.


of course, schlackoff, by tearing the down to do a major overhauls after ever
trip, right?

sure they do, schlackoff. sure they do. but first they "clean the plugs".


When your livelyhood and life
depend on an engine running, you take care of it.

schlackoff, NObody "cleans" fuel injectors on a diesel the night before
leaving
on an ocean trip, and NObody cleans the glow plugs either. btw, wanna

tell
us
just how glow plugs are cleaned by the crew?

also, why in hell do fishing boats "often do a teardown" (your words, see
below) on a engine to do a major overhaul (as you as described, see below)
"between such trips"? (your words, see below)

Because they put so many hours on it at a time. Because they depend on
their single engine to get them out and back over thousands of miles at
a time. Because the engines we're talking about are made to be easily
serviced with replacable wear items.


Your mistake is assuming that he meant "spark" plugs when he said plugs

I made no mistake at all. the author made the mistake, I just noticed it.
you
schlackoff, on the other hand, STILL are not sure that maybe the author

was
right and the crew cleaned the plugs the night before they left.

The author may have made a mistake, and may not have made a mistake.
You just can't read, that's all. You added "spark" in front of plugs
when it wasn't there. So no matter what the author said, you were wrong
and like always, just can't admit it.
