there you have it, folks, schlackoff telling us that the diesel engines used
by
commercial fishermen are so unreliable that those engine have "to be torn
down"
after every trip to sea.

There's your reading comprehension problem shining through again. The
reason those diesel engines are so reliable is that they are usually
serviced after every long trip to sea.

of course, schlackoff, by tearing the down to do a major overhauls after ever
trip, right?

sure they do, schlackoff. sure they do. but first they "clean the plugs".


When your livelyhood and life
depend on an engine running, you take care of it.

schlackoff, NObody "cleans" fuel injectors on a diesel the night before
leaving
on an ocean trip, and NObody cleans the glow plugs either. btw, wanna
tell
us
just how glow plugs are cleaned by the crew?

also, why in hell do fishing boats "often do a teardown" (your words, see
below) on a engine to do a major overhaul (as you as described, see below)
"between such trips"? (your words, see below)

Because they put so many hours on it at a time. Because they depend on
their single engine to get them out and back over thousands of miles at
a time. Because the engines we're talking about are made to be easily
serviced with replacable wear items.


Your mistake is assuming that he meant "spark" plugs when he said plugs

I made no mistake at all. the author made the mistake, I just noticed it.
you
schlackoff, on the other hand, STILL are not sure that maybe the author
was
right and the crew cleaned the plugs the night before they left.

The author may have made a mistake, and may not have made a mistake.
You just can't read, that's all. You added "spark" in front of plugs
when it wasn't there. So no matter what the author said, you were wrong
and like always, just can't admit it.

Steve

schlackoff, we are waiting for you to tell just what kind of "plugs" the
diesel engine on a commercial fishing boat has that might be cleaned by the
nervous crew the night before departing.

Anything from electrical plugs to hair plugs.

hair plugs? why would a fishing crew worry about hair plugs?

electrical plugs? on a diesel engine?

The point is that you
made a reading mistake by putting spark in front of plugs when it wasn't
there.

I made no mistake. I only pointed out a mistake made by the author and editors
of the book.

It's actually quite common for people to do things like that,
i.e, fill in a familiar missing word subconsciously. It's what you did
and you just can't admit you made a mistake.

Shall we hold our collective breath for your help in filling this gap in our
understanding?

Yes, hold your breath.

Steve

Yes, hold your breath.

Schlackoff

in other words, schlackoff, you have no idea what plugs a commerical fishing
boat crew might clean on the engine the night before sailing, but you are sure
they did clean some kind of plugs to ensure they engine ran well. you just
don't know what kind, that's all?

the problem on a multi-fuel engine is the low compression ration.

Huh? how DO they ration the compression?

(JAXAshby) wrote in message ...
Did it specifically state *SPARK plugs*? There are many, many kinds of
"plugs", you know.


In a diesel? that can be cleaned?

Yes.

variable piston size? (big grin)

okay, name a couple dozen of them.

Oh, good one! Is that your sense of irony coming through again?

Steve

schlackoff, diesel engines with spark plugs are called "multi-fuel"
engines
and
are rare.

Which proves you can't read. It didn't say "spark" plugs.

schlackie, you were caught with a fish hook in your mouth.

Joxitchbe, you were caught in yet another blunder. Add it to the list.

Steve

For sure it did, for the author specificly mentioned the crew of the
ill-fated
vessel was so anxious about the trip that they went to the boat the
night
before leaving to clean the plugs on the engine.

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).

THAT's it? That's what you're basing your assertion that the Andrea
Gail had a gas engine on? No mention of the type of engine? No
mention
of fuel? Jax, FYI, diesel engines can have plugs also. So it could
have been a diesel engine and the author not even be wrong in his
statement. If he had actually said it was a gas engine, he surely
would
have been wrong.

Since you know so much about gas engines, what model gas engine do you
think it had?

Depends on how long the trip was and how long the next trip will be.
The fact is that they often (not all the time) do a teardown between
such trips. Accept it, deal with it. Don't stress over it.

sure they do, schlackoff. sure they do. but first they "clean the plugs".

They might.

Depends on the engine. My diesel engine has electrical plugs as I'm
sure many do. The plug connects to a socket that goes to the pedestal
instrument cluster.

The point is that you
made a reading mistake by putting spark in front of plugs when it wasn't
there.

I made no mistake. I only pointed out a mistake made by the author and editors

Sure you did, You assumed that the author stated the Andrea Gail had a
gasoline engine. Just look at the subject you wrote. When in reality,
the author said no such thing.

It's actually quite common for people to do things like that,
i.e, fill in a familiar missing word subconsciously. It's what you did
and you just can't admit you made a mistake.

And that's what you did in this case.
