TP getting narrower?

Most moisture that gets trapped in oil boils off anyway...oil runs hotter than most think. I checked it once, the oil runs about 50*F hotter than coolant (which is 205*F) in my truck...and that's not even under load.

And I would like to know how you make a gallon of water from burning a gallon of gasoline...that's some strong alchemy right there. Most of anything burnt in the combustion chamber is expelled through the exhaust anyway...

Yeah, I could see a gallon of water vapor, which when condensed back to liquid might only get you a couple of ml.

The statement was a gallon of gas burnt makes a gallon of water...that defies science.

Just poking fun...

Plenty of hydrogen in a gallon of gasoline. Remember that combustion requires o2 which comes through that big source of air that surrounds us.

So, assuming 14:1 air:fuel ratio, 1 gallon of gasoline + 14 gallons of air may just yield more than a gallon of water. I'm thinking its about 10 gallons of water from a gallon of gasoline along with a double amount of CO2. Maybe less now that we're stuck with E10 and E15.

This is also one reason why you shouldn't fall for the hydrogen economy. Water is h2o. A gallon doesn't yield much hydrogen. But, a gallon of gasoline, oil, tar.... holds 10x-30x as much hydrogen. So, to get hydrogen, we'll need lots of oil. And, the hydrogen process, in mass scale, just becomes another step or middleman. Makes it inefficient.

I thought my TP was getting narrow but my butt is getting wider.

It's supposedly 1.4gallons of water manufactured by the combustion process at sea level. Now only a small fraction gets to the crankcase via blow by. Most goes out the exhaust.

..and I think Undummy would be compressing air to a liquid to make the 14gallon figure make sense. 1000's of cubic feet of 14.x PSIA air.
