Full fuel tanks for the winter
Common knowledge is that we should top up our fuel tank for the winter
sleep. Argument is that otherwise the temp changes will continuously condense water into the tank, as moist air is pulled in, condensed, and then expelled. I have no doubt that the effect is real, but wonder how big it actually is. How much water per gallon (or liter) of air would condense in one cycle of some plausible temperature range and some plausible outside dew point? (I think I know how to calculate this, but wonder if its already been done?) |
