schlackoff, you are too stupid for words, but let me walk you through this.

Jox, please tell us all why you claim:

1) it's absolutely impossible to clean a diesel engine's injectors.

by a drunken, nervous, anxious crew the night before sailing?

because the capt would not let anyone do something so foolish, and because
cleaning fuel injectors is major work requiring special tools, and because
bending any of the fuel lines going to any injector requires replacing the fuel
line with new.

2) it's absolutely impossible to clean a diesel engine's glow plugs.

how are you going to clean them? Take them out and wipe them on your jeans?
To what purpose?

3) it's absolutely impossible to clean a diesel engine's electrical
connections.


electrical connentions on a seagoing vessel are not plugs.

We're awaiting your answers to these questions

no, "we" were not. "you" were awaiting in hopes of filling yet another major
gap in your undersanding of the universe.

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?

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.

jim, the AUTHOR stated the crew cleaned the plugs on the engine the night

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.

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).

explaining to "steve" just where all those crew-cleanable plugs are on
that
engine?

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

Gas engine?

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!

Jax has way too much time on his hands and gets his jollys by making

I had a bowel movement this morning

hoary, that is more than we needed to know.

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.

curtis, you be kinda dense.

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.
