The Andrea Gail had a gasoline engine
 

I believe that if you do some research, you will find that the Andrea Gail was
powered by a single John Deere diesel engine. It also was equipped with a
gasoline powered ice maker which had been problematic on previous trips.

One sentence, just one sentence, but it clearly shows the Andrea Gail had a
gasoline engine. At least in the First Edition (for those out there who know
what a First Edition is, the rest of you can go fry an egg).

There's been plenty published about the Andrea Gail. Ships of that size,
design, type, and vintage don't have gasoline engines for main
propulsion or for generating main power. Period. But the ship might have
had some sort of aux. gasoline powered equipment, such as a winch. More
than likely, it simply was a mistake in the first draft and corrected later.


Not gonna find gasoline powered equipment, other than an outboard.
Winches will be hydraulic or electric, driven from the main or generator.

Did it specifically state *SPARK plugs*? There are many, many kinds of
"plugs", you know.


In a diesel? that can be cleaned?

jim, the AUTHOR stated the crew cleaned the plugs on the engine the night
before the boat sailed, so ****therefore it has to be true**** doesn't it.

perhaps the irony slipped by you, jim?

shen lacks the intelligence to claim more that he has. instead he claims 82 is
nearly as high as it can possibly get.

ROFLMAO Oh please Oh Most Knowing .... Please tell me how the winches,
refigeration systems (if used) are driven.

You've never been within 200 feet of one of these boats,but typically consider
yourself an expert .... please feel free to teach us all.... be my guest....
doubt one valid piece of information will come of this.
