[Rhodes22-list] Gas fumes

[Kroposki]

Michael,
	If he uses an unvented gas tank how are there any fumes in the
lazzerett?  My lazzerett opens under the seats so that it is really
vented.  Does the lazzerett in question have air access under the seats?
Does he need a vent on the rail (highest point)?

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.
