Water in your fuel?

Putting water or sugar in someone's gas tank is an old country remedy for settling property line disputes.... Trouble with that is that your neighbour will be stuck at home and will guess who did it. Much better to sneak out at night and psition a roof nail under his tyre. He will be well down the road before it goes flat and will never be able to prove it was not an accidental puncture.. |

Actually a surveyor could probably settle such disputes more peaceably. Max |

It's called "Adverse possession", and I believe it requires a court to award you the property. Almost unheard of in suburban or urban residential properties. CWM But a very popular means of acquiring agricultural land... |

Scout- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Yelp I disagree too. My fuel tanks are in an area cool, yet they are vented. Lots of air exchange from hot to cool with warm air touching the cool insides of the tank and condensation will form and drip, not much but it happens. A rocking motion will increase the breathing motion and air exchange. It's no big deal that is what water seperators are for. I get a tablespoon or so of water for most 24 hrs using the generator and main. Joe |

Scout Size is the big issue for condensation. Big and more volume, is more likely to have condensation, right? |

I suppose the greater the mass, the greater the duration that mass will remain below dew point for a given rise in ambient temperature. In this neck of the woods, underground tanks produce condensate all summer long thanks to the mass they are buried in. |
