The noted letter in the May issue of Model Airplane News is just continuing evidence of how little the people at M.A.N. know about anything concerning gas. In short, they screwed the pooch again.

Water is heavier/more dense than gasoline so pouring water into gas will not float the water to the top. Just the opposite, the water goes to the low point. Water weighs in around 8 lbs./gal while gas is in the area of 6 lbs./gal. Any full scale pilot can confirm this. Not an opinion, simple fact.

Model Airplane News, you folks have lost any relevance you may have managed to retain up to now. This last one, combined with the past few issues containing erroneous gas engine operations, fuels, and carb information, have placed your magazine on the list that I will not be renewing my subscription to when this one runs out.
