If you wanted to just get a little more fuel in there why not use a bigger jet? Besides the coefficient of thermal expansion for fuel is orders of magnitude smaller than that for air, it would make little difference, make your life more complicated, and make operation less predictable. Besides, warm fuel will vaporize more readily. - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe? mailto:type3-request@vwtype3.org, Subject: unsubscribe
