Yep, the reason is that
dissolved salts in sea water make it more dense than fresh water by 3%.

can't find it now. Is the 3% difference because of the buoyancy
difference between fresh and sea water ? I've been looking for that damn
file but I've got so much paper work laying around and none of it is organized
so every time I need to work out a calculation, I gotta dig through all this
crap. Man ! I need a secretary ! Guess I better clean all this stuff up.
I've pretty much decided to go with that neat little propane tank Greg C.
put up for my VBT. It has some nice advantages and is fast and easy to
plumb up. All for just $200. Hell, I can't build one for that. Just gotta find
out how much volume exactly needed. The 33# tank is 12 3/4 inch by 18
inch, and if it's enough, just one would do. If it takes two.....well, just have
to shift stuff around so the proper balance is maintained. Thanks
again. Frank D. Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food. |
