Keith, I doubt if thats possible. Believe a diesel molecule would be bigger than a water molecule. One molecule of water as H20 is after all only three atoms although the molecular weight is something like 33 (1 x 1 plus 2 x 16 offhand). Out of my depth unfortunately and I quickly get lost. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Aleks with your vastly superior knowledge of chemistry please enlighten us if possible. Believe it may be possible to pass water rather than diesel on this basis if I am correct about molecule size. B.r., David You are absolutely right. But a molecule of water weights just 18 g/mol. Another possibility to drain water may be osmosys which requires a membrane. *i don't know why it works, but old pilots like myself used to filter our aircraft gas through a 'chamoix', that is a wool-less sheepskin. the gas would go through ok, but the water would not. did it for safety when flying in the hinterlands. dick carlstein Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html To unsubscribe, send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
