[re: condensation in the gas]

ML>>help!

 KW> Dunno where you are, but I'm in Winnipeg, Canada.

i'm in central north carolina... guess you don't have access to a fidonet
nodelist there, eh? ;)

 KW> The reason I tell you that is that in case you don't know, it
 KW> gets mighty cool here.  Minus -58 degrees for a while, though
 KW> thank goodness it seems to be over now :)

 KW> Anyway, we have trouble with condensation forming
 KW> in our gas tanks, then freezing of course, so the
 KW> engine won't start.

yeah, i've run into that a time or two...

 KW> Our defence is to add gasoline anti-freeze to the
 KW> tank.  Add a small container (4 ounces to each
 KW> [Canadian] gallon of fuel.)  It purportedly absorbs
 KW> the water.  At any rate, it works. :)

that may be what i'm thinking of... i'll have to look around and see what i
can find...

 KW> Now dependent on where you are, you may not
 KW> be able to find it, so...

 KW> A few years back I discovered that it's
 KW> really nothing more than Methyl Hydrate,
 KW> that you should be able to find in a hardware
 KW> store.

excellent... i'll watch out for that...

 KW> I've used it since I discovered what it
 KW> really is for the simple reason that
 KW> a small bottle marked gas anti-freeze is
 KW> a couple of dollars, while the same
 KW> couple of dollars will buy a half gallon
 KW> of methyl hydrate.

yeah, no kidding! hiway robbery at its best ;(

thanks again... i'll keep a look out for it and see what i can find...
hopefully some one else will also have some info they can point me to...
not on this stuff but on most anything related...
