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


In a diesel? that can be cleaned?

And look at the motor. Gas?

Turns out, those pictures are of a sister with a 12-71 (no glow plugs BTW)
It seems the Andrea Gail had a Cat.

wayne, you seem to know something about that particular engine. would you
mind
explaining to "steve" just where all those crew-cleanable plugs are on
that
engine?

Thanks. "steve" seems to draw a blank spot when asked.

Jakass, you are the dummy who stated the AG's engine was gas because you
read they cleaned some plugs. Remember, you stated the engine was gas.
YOu did not state the author was wrong. YOU stated the AG's engine was gas!

cay lif bill, the irony on the original statement should not have been
lost on
you from the get-go, and if perhaps you missed it you STILL should have
come up
to speed by the 8th or 10th reiteration. wake up, dude.

Jax has way too much time on his hands and gets his jollys by making
outrageous statements and waiting for the flack to fly. If you feed
the troll he gets bigger.

I had a bowel movement this morning

hoary, that is more than we needed to know.

Wasn't the problem with the ice-maker, that the spark plugs were
fouling-out?
And, didn't the plugs eventually burn up from the fouling? After being
cleaned numerous times?

the "plugs" cited were for the engine. The author was adding "color" and
didn't know that diesel engines don't have plugs. Neither did his editors, at
least for the first edition. I assume the error was corrected in later
editions.

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?

Did you really read the book? It is based on actual events, but much
of the content is things that are assumed to have occured, as the
people that know the real answers (the crew) are dead.

If the author included some hearsay about the crew cleaning plugs, it
in no way means it actually happened. Junger was pretty clear about
this kind of stuff at the beginning of the book.

So you have attempted to start yet another arguement on another
half-jax-assed notion that you know anything.



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.

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).

billie, are you one of the loose marbles that rolled westward after some
earthquake?

The Andrea Gail did not have a diesel engine even the the author of The Perfect
Storm had the drunken, anxious crew cleaning the plugs on the engine the night
before sailing.

wayne, you seem to know something about that particular engine. would you
mind
explaining to "steve" just where all those crew-cleanable plugs are on
that
engine?
