[Vwdiesel] Fuel 101 --- ( the MICROBES ---nasty little crittters )

[H . Hagar.]

Lets study Moisture in Air first --then apply what we learn to fuel and lube oils.---I
challenge anybody to write about moisture . WE ALL may learn.
Hagar.

Shit I Hagar missed  University   ---that will bug me to I die. (soon).

BUT here is what I learned along the way.   ----there is something called a Periodic Table
?  it lists all known  basic things  like gasses and metals and so on.

H-O-H  is a gas ?  JA    and it will go solid without going liquid in between ?
Ja..----Yes it will form ice crystals --or snow--if you like in your Diesel Fuel on a cool
day.----Result ?  a plugged screen ?  Ja   and reduced power ?  Ja.  --- . So as you can
see , to drain FREE  water  H-O-H  may not be enough.---Solution ?  ---" Bone dry Fuel
"----or a fuel antifreeze.---. I do not like Alcohol's in Rabbits---So I am not likely to
use them ----but for limping home.

Does anyone know how many times  Silica-Gel   Cobalt will change color ?  without wearing
out ?.
Bone dry it is spectacular bright Purple  --then it goes Blue ---then it goes
ink  ---then it goes White. --as it picks up  H-O-H  --sure fun to watch. ---It blew my
socks off --when it was stated that a Kilogram of Silica-Gel would absorb 400 grams of
H-O-H---that is a LOT. --(of moisture).

Mark Shepherd your " Teabag "  patent ---is about a 100 years too late.  --I learned the
trick from an English Electric  ---power transformer.   I wanted the Tank for Diesel fuel.
In one corner of the tank was a strange looking canister welded right in .. So I took it
apart ? --Ja ?  aber naturlish  --and found it was filled with Silica-Gel. ---Up till then
?   -- I dried air like that from I was a kid.  ---But would it work in OIL ?  -----It
sure does ---more on my proof later. ( first hand stuff ). .      Fun way for fuel ?
freeze then run through coffee filter ---it works. ---I am curious about James Hansen ---I
know for a fact that he run in to the bag trick way way back---BUT did the bags have the
Cobalt Crystals ?

Hagar.

PS :   I use an old oven to dry the Silica-Gel to bone dry.--ie Purple.
