[Rhodes22-list] Engines...again.

[Michael Meltzer]

It is getting time for a new subject, at least for this quarter, what about the difficulty of sex while single handing, or the
average man takes only 1.5 minutes, or how many ways can a port leak, "stupid boat ticks", even blowing up a boat from gas fumes in
the lasserret.

> Roger,
> OK, so we now know that the four stroke engines do not have a catalytic converter, which makes them already not very
environmentally friendly. Catalytic converters were put on vehicles to reduce the effects of acid rain which is a chemical reaction
involving the exhausted gases, moisture and sunlight and returns the moisture as acid rain and is also the major cause of smog.
> If my college chemistry isn't failing me, the unburned hydrocarbons emitted from 2 stroke engines, although entering the water
supply, are simply evaporated by the sunlight in a matter of days. Kind of what happens with an oil slick from a oil tanker that has
run aground and broke open. However, I understand that the government mandated additives in the gasoline stay behind. Seems to me
you eliminate the additives from the gasoline and it's a toss up as to which engine pollutes more.
