Yes, that was why it caught my attention. I think it was in the video of a '79 300SD that he had tuned up by advancing the injection timing and I think he also advanced the camshaft timing with an offset key. Max Dillon, Charleston SC On Jul 10, 2014 12:08 AM, Craig diese...@pisquared.net

Actually I think the tank is brass. Its a marine stove because it burns alcohol which doesn't give off dangerous fumes and has a fire that can be put out with water. They made a gimbaled platform for it too but this one doesn't seem to have it. Curt From:

The reason why marine stoves typically use alcohol as fuel is because the fumes from a spill or leak will not pool in a low spot, which could subsequently explode or suffocate someone. On the good-bad scale, either event would measure all the way to bad. I don't know about the gases given off

Actually, what you said is true of compressed natural gas, as opposed to LP (aka propane), which is heavier than air. The main advantage of alcohol in marine applications (vs Diesel or kerosene) is that water extinguishes alcohol fires pretty well. On the other hand, alcohol does not burn as

But the frame surrounding the burners appears to be stainless steel or else is chrome plated. And yes, I think alcohol is preferred on a boat. Some use propane but it can be dangerous as it will settle in the bilges if it leaks and might be accidently ignited. Randy On 10/07/2014 11:06 AM,
