Beware of biodiesel in boats..

Oh, be *very* aware.....
/sarcasm

Only conclusion that means anything to auxiliaries is to add biocide,
which most of us overdo anyway.

High-volume users don't have to change a thing.

The fact that they can't convert from degrees C to F properly spoils
it a bit..

No, unfortunately, the moisture is heavier than air and settles in the

Unfortunately, no. Water vapor has a molecular weight of 18, air is
29. Density varies directly with molecular weight.

So, if you fill a balloon with water, it will fly? Amazing! Does NASA
know about this?

What part of vapor didn't you understand?

Casady

Okay, so you are claiming that if I fill a balloon with water vapor
and let go of it, it will float upwards? Why didn't they fill the
Hindenburg with Water Vapor?

Just make sure the temperature is above boiling point.

Obviously SaltyDog has NEVER seen a CLOUD, floating by while he is out
sailing..... what are clouds made out of??? wait for it.....
Water Vapor..... do clouds go UP in elevation.... wait for it....
Yes, they do... therefor Water Vapor MUST be lighter than Air in some
circumstances..... Duh..... Grade School Science must have been on a
day Salty skipped school....

Clouds are a hoax. They are actually hydrogen-filled blimps covered with
cotton balls. Rain is caused by sprinkler systems attached to the blimps.
Thunder is what happens when two blimps collide.

Water Vapor.

The thing that makes clouds visible is droplets of liquid water. The
air is pretty much saturated with water vapor, of course. Usually
clouds rise because they are warmer. That means less dense. The water
vapor is in fact less dense, but the temperature effect is much
larger.

Well i had a masthead light which was sealed with rubber grommets, the top
was plastic and screwed from the base upwards with a long stainless screw,
therefore holding it down from the inside. About a year after fitting the
bulb blew so after climbing the mast i found to my surprise that there was
about an inch of water inside. So bearing in mind what has been said here
How did that water get there?

Wind-driven rain, most likely, and they forgot to put a drain hole in.

I confess. I climbed up your mast and PUT that water there in
aniticpation of this usenet thread. G
