How's the fattening going RB? I'd say very well from the looks of his pics. I'm at the other end of the line, with my youngest (of 3) just going off to college. College is like the big bubble payment at the end of all the other seemingly endless payments. Ha! All three of mine (2 kids, 1 wife) are done with skool and all have jobs. The 2 youngins moved out 3 weekends ago. Lisa & I are 'discovering' each other all over again. Life is sweet. Scotty |
I could use a little cash!

Lisa & I are
'discovering' each other all over again. Puke. Two mistakes for the price of one with less beer. RB |

"Joe" wrote Whats the specific gravity for diesel? # 2 weighs around 7 lbs. 7.65 Scotty...Do you have some sort of Tankermans endorsement in the trucking industry? There is, but I did not get it. Have no use for it. I received my tankermans endorsement the same time I sat for my AB. It's a good course. Lots of nasty stuff that will kill you if your not doing things correctly. I got the hazmat endorsement when they first came out, a lot of gov't bull if you ask me. I did not renew it after 2 years. Yeah its pretty basic common sence. I had to get one while pushing around fuel flats. But its the people that have no understanding of gasoline ect that get toasted. We use to push all the fuel southern pacific RR used in the Houston area. Also used to fuel up all the ships visiting Houston, got some great stuff trading with the ships visiting houston from around the world. Joe Scotty |

I'm talking #2, not 6, 8 bunker fuel for ships. Yeah your talking about the weight of the fuel. I was talking about specific gravity as compared to water. Specific Gravity is dimensionless unit defined as the ratio of density of the material to the density of water at a specified temperature. Specific Gravity can be expressed as: SG = = ρ / ρH2O where SG = specific gravity ρ = density of fluid ρH2O = density of water It is common to use the density of water at 4 oC (39° F) as reference - at this point the density of water is at the highest. Thermal Properties of Water Density, Freezing temperature, Boiling temperature, Latent heat of melting, Latent heat of evaporation, Critical temperature .... . Since Specific Weight is dimensionless it has the same value in the metric SI system as in the imperial english system (BG). At the reference point specific gravity has same numerically value as density. Example - Specific Gravity If the density of iron is 7850 kg/m3, 7.85 grams per cubic millimeter, 7.85 kilograms per liter, or 7.85 metric tons per cubic meter - the specific gravity of iron is: SG = 7850 kg/m3/ 1000 kg/m3 = 7.85 where the density of water is 1000 kg/m3. It is critical to understand the specific gravity of fluids you carry on deck in tanks. If you do not.... and just go by volume guessing weight you can get in mucho trouble in a heart beat. I carried fluids that had as high as a 4.6 SG Joe Scotty |
My boat only holds 12 gallons, so SG is no concern to me. My truck
holds 260 gallons so I need to know the weight sometimes. You sound awfully smart. Did you go to college? Scotty "Joe" wrote in message om... "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ...

Are you sure -two heavy people?

And I came close to flippin a 120 footer because of a SG FU. Joe Scotty "Joe" wrote in message om... "Scott Vernon" wrote in message ... "Joe" wrote in message om...
