@davidr I believe, unfortunately, one has to drain the water off the bottom of the tank (gasoline is less dense so floats on top of it). For example, light aircraft have a drainage point at the sump of the tank, so as part of the daily checks, the pilot can drain some fuel and check for water. (Thus it mightn't be obvious if one just tips fuel out of the top of the tank).

I hope that the Alpine Alpenglow crew have improved the electronics in their 6-cylinder HY6 hydrogen internal combustion engine, compared to their previous HY4 version!

> #Hydrogen #internalCombustion #technology is the most similar to #diesel in that a #hydrogenEngine “provides the power, the torque — it can operate in the existing environments and existing equipment.”

"…#BattleOfTechnologies concept…#EV cars will compete with #internalcombustion cars in the FIA World Rallycross Championship on equal terms“…

…has the potential to let #electricrallycross cars shine…“maybe the mistake has been not putting these cars side by side. If people would have seen how fast these cars are, you can cheer for anybody out on track but the electric cars would win nine out of ten races, mainly because we would be miles out ahead right from the start."

@AhTheGreg Problem is, they're partially right. It is designed revenue neutral over all, but for the #Conservative base who love to drive those monster pickup trucks and big SUVs, it's no doubt a revenue transfer to those city dwelling #Liberal and #NDP voters who might not even own an #InternalCombustion engine. #cdnpoli

Labour's war is with the #internalcombustion motorist.

about freaking time for a war on system that was created for the specific purpose of marketing Standard Oil's newly found Pennsylvania oil over a hundred years ago.

to say that #capitalism brought our world to the edge of a disastrous catastrophe is no overstatement.

Old tech problems #internalCombustion

@mspro

the #climatechange-train has left the station.

greed, not #EVtech is to blame: electric cars were here before #internalcombustion ones to begin with; they went hard to the rich and guilty types with "luxury" EV's -- still are -- thus leaving simple light weight EV's out of the picture; roads are designed for trucks, not people -- always were, so personal vehicle safety must be based on daily road competition with the heaviest vehicle.

@axios
what happened is the production costs sink radically after the first few years; this is where they hoped to make those"killer" profits, if only there weren't competition...

and to that, they focused solely on the top of the market, not the middle or bottom..

evidence: ford just chased off literally a battalion of #internalcombustion #engineers.

Does anyone know if #ElectricVehicles run cooler than #InternalCombustion vehicles? I'd expect that they do, due to generating less waste heat, and while I guess the battery can get hot I doubt it does by as much.
But I'm just wondering if there's a better source than just my guesswork.

Thanks!

#Berlin and #Brussels have reached a deal in a dispute over a ban on new #cars with #InternalCombustion #engines. The agreement relates to the future use of e-fuels in cars.

To the irritation of some in Brussels, consensus on the issue was being held up by opposition from within #Germany's ruling coalition government. https://www.dw.com/en/germany-strikes-deal-with-eu-on-combustion-engine-phase-out/a-65120095 #GreenEnergy #CarIndustry #AutomobileIndustry #Sustainability

This car shouldn’t exist but it does and it’s an #engineering #masterpiece.
You can tootle about in it all day and then do 300mph+ on the track.
Also, I do like Jodie Kidd 😍
