Dropped it

This is what I was trying to say - I just didn't do a very good job of
ot.

Not strictly true [1]. Liquid is a state of matter and not a
classification of matter. There are generally four states of matter.
Liquid, solid, gas and plasma. Matter can usually be made to occupy each
of the states.

[1] But I take your point that the most common form of petrol in it's
storage state is liquid. However, it doesn't really does its work until
it becomes a gas.

 

Eh? And at what point in the combustion process does this gasification
take place? I was under the impression that it was a mixture of tiny,
but still liquid, petrol droplets and air that was ignited in a normal
internal combustion engine.

 

Are flames wet?

 

It's not petrol by then ...

 

'Metal' defines what it is chemically, not what it is on your church
roof.

I understand, I was never good at this chemistry stuff.

PS. The roof on my church is steel.

And that's not in the least bit misleading, is it?

 

I'm not really an expert on this stuff, but surely petrol doesn't
become a gas in a 4 stroke engine - it's just vapourised into a
homogenous mist...

 

fair enough - I'm only going on what "howstuffworks.com" told me ;-)

 

It wasn't intentional.

 

I was being a wanker, mainly because I didn't understand how forks
work. I hope no-one noticed.

 

Listen son, I'm beginning to dislike where this is going. Pick your
roundabout. ;o)

 

Definitely not homogenous - it's a liquid aerosol when it gets sprayed
into the cylinder ...
