I am sure volvo and Merlin have the same recommendations on Octane level:cool-smiley-027: :cool-smiley-027:

Were do I sign up to pay $2.99 for 87 Octane:cool-smiley-027:

I wish i could burn 87

Im not saying heet is an end all say all cure, but it can get you out of a jam, with out having to drain your tanks in most cases.
As with ethanol methanol is an alcohol, and you will need to keep an eye on most of your rubber coated fuel parts, alcohol dries them out, and in extreme cases it eats them, so when using heet use just enough to get the crap out,, then ur good.

What spick is trying to say is the change of state from liquid to vapour at constant temperature also requires the input of energy, called the latent heat of vaporization. This implies that while a liquid undergoes a change to the vapour state at the normal boiling point, the temperature of the liquid will not rise beyond the temperature of the boiling point.

The latent heat of evaporation is the energy required to overcome the molecular forces of attraction between the particles of a liquid, and bring them to the vapour state, where such attractions are minimal.



The definition of the specific latent heat of vaporization is

'The specific latent heat of vaporization is the amount of heat required to convert unit mass of a liquid into the vapour without a change in temperature."

I hope this clears up any confusion....

so my flux capacitor should be fine:sport009:

if your boat could go 88 miles per hour maybe it would be!!!!

Good info.....


I will be at Club 105 tonight if anybody wants to show up and hand me beers, and tell me how "you" would do it vs. the way I am doing it:):)

How do you guys think a 29 will handle conroe and the bay??????
or should i take a closer look at the bullet?

Bullet will handle the water better....but twin 350 should be very reliable:cool: :cool:

i also have to think about the weight of the bullet and if i can get it up the launch.:throw:

Ok, I guess the chemical convo should take place at outback,, where google is not readily availible, :evilb:
We will be there at 6:45.
