    Thanks for the lengthy explanation . Note there is NO residue from Ethanol OR Methanol per se but there is likely water absorbed in either that causes the corrosion with alloy carburettors, that are not specially treated as many Magnesium (more corrosive) aero parts are. They should all be provided with a bowl drained from the Lowest point. (where the sediment collects).. Water anywhere in motors is a problem with corrosion especially where dissimilar metals occur.

    Yeah spacey just imagine how long any gov't would survive springing something like that during covid. The long term advantage is Cheaper vehicles. Sometimes the Conversion is Inferior. Some vehicles have the engine off centre. Nev

    "Trickey Dicky" but he did a few good things. Bugging the Democratic Convention wasn't one of them as it turned out. HE was one of the more intelligent ones. I'm not being sarcastic there. Nev

    You have to abide by the rules wherever you are. The majority of cars made are LHD.. The PIC sits in the lefthand seat of an aeroplane. Get with it. Nev

    You want to make sure that is done very accurately. Are you decking the block or using oversize OD bearings? Nev

    WHAT the DUCK? Nev

    Turbs you missed the Point. You make sure the TAP works Properly. Doesn't pass fuel and run the engine dry so there's no residual fuel remaining in the carburetter.. Ethanol is a water absorbing substance. as is Methanol.. IF you HAVE to use E take the extra steps . Nev

    It's "Hygroscopic" Absorbs water. Make sure your fuel TAP is good and run the carb dry when you've finished mowing You should do THAT anyhow with Premix fuel or oil residue will block things up. Nev

    Elon's certainly a worry. The amount of Dough he GETS blows the Mind. He reminds me of the $#!t Sandwich Quote. "LIFE is Like a $#!t sandwich. The more BREAD you have the LESS $#!t you have to eat." Nev

    It's certainly NOT cost effective and often displaces crops used for Food.. Brazil Had cropdusters Operating on straight ethanol. Fuel consumption is a lot higher but engine temps cooler. Methanol (wood alcohol) The one that swells the brain and Kills you quick is a better race fuel enabling Compression ratios above 12:1. Special Lube Oils recommended. Nev

    HE calls Serving People "Suckers and Losers". HE wouldn't Know $#!T from Clay. Diddums, The Orange U Tan would be a joke IF it wasn't so serious. He's YOUR C in C as you said, and the rest of the World have just had their Trade AGREEMENTS Unilaterally Torn up. What's NEXT? .I speak to a lot of Ex-service USA people. So far They ALL seem to Like Trump??? I know some Higher Ups DON"T but I don't get to speak to THEM. Nev

    AVGAS has 2 Octane figure and is ""better" for each figure as well. The LOWER figure is for Lean Mixture and you can guess what the Other is. It's NOT mentioned for 100 LL for some reason. The DC4's (P&W R-2000's I flew used 130/145. You just can't get that NOW. so would have to use revised Boost figures and get less Power.. Military use of the same motors used Higher boost but reduced TBO's. Nev

    I was backing you up. but I've also added other info relative to it.. Science teachers often get this wrong THEY are not REAL Science Teachers and should pay for the Damage done to young Minds. Nev

    PLEASE explain. Nev

    You reduce the force that is already there thereby creating a difference of pressures. Suction is a pretty nebulous concept in science. You can't apply suction in a Vaccuum because there's NO pressure already. So no difference to produce a force.. Wings don't work at all in Space. Nev

    You can't just Use AVTUR in ANY diesel engine and auto diesel freezes too easily to be safe in most aircraft. JP4 is another Jet fuel used in military aircraft and some civilian ones. Jet fuels are not as safe a kero to handle. They contain chemicals to inhibit bacterial growth. Never use it in a cleaning bath in a workshop.. Nev

    For an American citizen who WANTS to leave (How UN American is that? ) the process of relinquishing your Citizenship is quite involved. I hear. Nev

    A STALL warning working on Angle of attack is best. Stall stick position used in qualified situations is also good. Pre stall buffeting can be, sloppy control feel less so. I think we have gone through this pretty comprehensively. Nev

    You rely on a difference of pressure A column of water will only rise 32 feet no matter how hard you SUCK, the ambient pressure limits how high the water is elevated above the surface of where you got it from. Nev

    A change such as that HAS to be effective and enforced at a Defined time. Why not have a 24 hour clock? (Thought I'd throw that one in again. That's one that could be transitioned over a period. Nev

    An O-235 is 115 HP. Why the T tail?. Suss structurally. Nev

    Trump was going crook about the COST of it. How would HE have a clue about such matters? Nev

    You're probably not alone. Come here and warn us of what might happen here. Nev
