This is absolutely nothing new at all!
I was a Raytheon dealer back in the day and they were always pulling crap like
this. Their XX radar series was supposed to transfer a target from radar to

I don’t know about your engine, but with my old 300D Mercedes in the winter I

engines will tolerate this, but the old car liked it.
As to the rest: If the ONLY issue is water, a good fuel polishing machine will

FYI:
My furling genoa is about 95% used up. I have been looking for one for about 3
years now and no luck. NO ONE is getting rid of a nice furling genoa unless the
boat sank. Racing sails – plenty of them. If the sail is the wrong size or it
needs a cover, you are looking at $500 minimum to get
I took my new filler and empty CNG tank to the CNG fuel station at BWI. It did
not start off well. The fill hose is very stiff, it is like fighting with a
barely flexible pipe more than a hose. The filler kept blowing back off the
tank and would NOT stay on. I was very frustrated when I noticed
AFAIK best practice for a diesel is 10 microns before the fuel pump and 2
microns on the engine after the fuel pump. Passagemaker had a series of

I always thought Monel was the most corrosion-proof type of metal to be had. I
