Like I said before a lack of atmospheric pressure is (vacuum) which will work the fogger? Does anyone know if biodiesel needs to be washed if mixed 50/50 with regular diesel fuel, and if you wash it can isopropyl alc. be used instead boiling the fuel to remove final water content? Thanks

Thanks Steve, I sometimes dont make the most obvious connections when it comes to abbreviations. B.r., David Internal Combustion Engine? Take a gander at an old hot rod magazine from the early 80's by Henry (Smokey) Yunick from Daytona FL. Had an interesting Expander

That's because if you figure the plates have about 72^2 of surface area and atmospheric pressure is 14.7psi then the atmosphere is holding the plates together with 1058 pounds of force. .. Alan, That's 1,058 #s external pressure. But there is also negative pressure between the plates

Alan, That's 1,058 #s external pressure. But there is also negative pressure between the plates Doesn't this mean that (external pressure x external surface area) + (internal negative pressure x internal surface area) = total force needed to sever the two plates? It's been a while
