So, I'm watching the tv show Mayday. British airways flight 38 suffered a fuel problem approaching Heathrow. Turns out ice crystals clogged the fuel heater (manifold system with smaller tubes at that point).
There's some moisture in all fuel, you can minimize it but not totally eliminate it. I'm fairly experienced in that but I usually operate in temps above -40c in the winter. I use fuel heaters and fuel additives in the winter to lower my gelling point.
Turns out the fuel temps were high enough for the ice crystals to get sticky during this event (-20c) and cause them to clog the fuel system at the heater.
While it might not be completely analogous, it makes sense to me as somewhere near 0f I find it beneficial to keep my windshield cold to help prevent snow from sticking to it. Anyway, it appears there is a fine line between preventing gelling up and ice clogging the fuel line. If it's cold enough, the crystals will remain separate and pass through.
I'm not an aviation geek, only about 3 hours in the left seat before I decided it's not for me. If you've read this entire post and made sense of it, I'm sure professional help is available and you should seek it out.😁
He makes a great commentary in the first part of the video about politicians vs us.
Not that I haven't had these thoughts before, but I'm going to try to verbalize them. Pretty much everyone in elected office gains not only power but tremendous wealth. Mr Trump doesn't appear to need money and it appears he's actually losing money by being in office. He's been under constant attack and scrutiny that I don't think most other officials could stand. So, why does he keep on going? I understand ego, but I don't think that's it, at least entirely.
In summation, I do believe he loves America and is motivated by that love. I can think of no other explanation.
The battle to defend your 2A rights in 2024 has only just begun Thanks to your support, GOA and our allies are beating the anti-gun extremists in court. Yesterday, a federal judge held that California’s required background checks on ammunition sales violated the Second Amendment, and ordered California to stop enforcing that law.
