It is indeed Gore's houseboat.

That was the only point.

Although it is interesting that Bio-Solar One can be shortened to BS
One, but I would never make such a connection.

But it would be a reasonable connection since it has also been pointed
out that there is *no* locally available bio-fuel where he keeps the
house boat.

I had an interesting experience with bio-fuel today. I recently
gassed up the outboard tank for my dinghy engine with 10% ethanol. I
took it out for a spin this afternoon and the engine failed because of
a deterioated rubber squeeze bulb. Can ethanol do that? It's the
only explanation that makes sense to me. Fortunately I carry a spare
tank which was enough to get me home.

Over time, yes assuming that it's not ethanol resistant. Instatly,
not likely.

More likely that the flapper valve in the bulb failed if it's old
enough. Had that heppen a time or two.
