New auxiliary fuel system for the GW in Harry's photo....the one with
the three 250-HP outboards.


(Actually, this is the high endurance cutter Midgett being serviced by
a Navy oiler off the coast of California).

At the current fuel pump prices, I hesitate to guess how many hundreds
of dollars worth of fuel is in the *hose* itself in this photo. :-)

I rememebr seeing a documentaryon the Queen Elizebeth (not the QE2) and
they had about a 6' or so line strung to it. and were giving here a
good drink.

It showed a meter on the pump just happily clicking away, at actually a
pretty good rait, about a click every 12 seconds. The narrarator was
commenting about the pump and said. Oh and BTW, that meter isn't
reading gallons, it's reading tons!
