jim, the AUTHOR stated the crew cleaned the plugs on the engine the night
before the boat sailed, so ****therefore it has to be true**** doesn't it.
perhaps the irony slipped by you, jim?
Did you really read the book? It is based on actual events, but much
of the content is things that are assumed to have occured, as the
people that know the real answers (the crew) are dead.
If the author included some hearsay about the crew cleaning plugs, it
in no way means it actually happened. Junger was pretty clear about
this kind of stuff at the beginning of the book.
So you have attempted to start yet another arguement on another
half-jax-assed notion that you know anything.
I believe that if you do some research, you will find that the Andrea Gail
was
powered by a single John Deere diesel engine. It also was equipped with a
gasoline powered ice maker which had been problematic on previous trips.

One sentence, just one sentence, but it clearly shows the Andrea Gail
had a
gasoline engine. At least in the First Edition (for those out there who
know
what a First Edition is, the rest of you can go fry an egg).
