there is a trend in power building for engines. water/methanol injection.
yes, you dont have the methanol, but the point of the water is to cool the A/F ratio, and like in these new fangled 6-stroke engines, when the water hits the hot combustion chamber, creates steam and pressure.
I dont think it would hurt the engine much. maybe the fuel pump, but if you run it after filling, I dont think it would rust.
I didn’t read the whole thing, but at the very start it makes it clear that it does not apply to everywhere.
" requires all States that
have ozone nonattainment areas classified as moderate or above to
implement a Stage II vapor recovery program."
“Caller X, with respect, you’re going to have to elaborate with a viable arguement for your posts to have any weight. Saying “simply not true” with no supporting information says nothing at all.”
It simply says that what you said is simply not true. Your followup below also says that what you said is simply not true. “Simply not true” is a robustly sufficient response to argument by assertion, such as you made. Gratuitously asserted, just as gratuitously denied. By the rules of rhetoric the burden is on the asserter to support or retract. You found you couldn’t support your assertion so you retracted it. Good for you.
Hmm, you seem to be saying that “It applied nation wide [sic]” is simply not true.
All you did, because it was all that was needed, was read the second sentence of the reference provided. That was brilliant, and I’d like to build on your work by referring to the third sentence:
“The Stage II vapor recovery program requires owners and operators of gasoline dispensing facilities that dispense greater than 10,000 gallons of fuel per month (50,000 gallon per month in the case of an independent small business marketer) to install and operate gasoline vehicle refueling vapor recovery systems.”
So the requirement not only is not nation-wide, but even where it applies it applies only to facilities above a certain size.
Kudos to you, tardis, for doing the research, and self-pat-on-the-back to me for the elegant simplicity of “simply not true.”
Ah, no one with you to hold the umbrella,you really need hand holding here. May I suggest you wait till someone else shows up to get gas or perhaps ask the clerk to hold your umbrella (if all else fails you may have to resort to some kind of class in multitasking with an unbrella in hand). I wonder what you will come up with next to continue your “whoa is me attitude” stop thinking like a victim,use your noodle.
I see airliner jets being fueled in the rain all the time at the airport. I think your car is safe to fill up in the rain too. No harm will come to the engine. Engines these days are built to withstand alot of punishment. Just remember to change your oil according to the owners manual!
I’ve driven over a significant portion of this country in the last couple years, and I’ve seen TWO gas stations without covered pumps. (Not counting places long out of business.)
This is not a common problem in the southwest, northwest, southern midwest, or mid-Atlantic states.
I’m not the one who suggested that another person was needed to hold the umbrella. By the way, it’s “woe is me”, as any grade-schooler knows, I’m most certainly not thinking like a victim, and it’s not a noodle, it’s a Wyld Stallyn.
