Physics any evidence of water in gas?

[donotdothis]

somehow people think water is in gas, where's the evidence?

If you are talking about gasoline or petrol, then yes it has trace amounts (.05 to .1 percent by volume) because at least some of the additives, including ethanol absorb water. It is intentional in order to keep engines from sputtering. This is exactly why some people add a special antifreeze in winter to keep their gas lines from freezing in winter.

as in air.

Water in air is readily measured by using one of these.

What makes you doubt that there is water in the air, anyways? Just Curious

Back in the 1950's my fuel line would almost always freeze if I didn't add some "corn squeeze" in there....

 

[thujone]

is that a case of just air getting into the fuel tank? our gasoline here is E10 and i've never even worried about fuel line freezing, though at -30 C the transmission fluid would turn into a slushie

@thujone
Back in the 1950's there was no alcohol added straight from the pump, here at least. That's a modern thing. I want to say 1970's but I'm getting old and forgetting things more and more.

 

[thujone]

yeah i'm not able to picture how things were back then, leaded fuel had already been phased out in my lifetime and normal pump gas now already comes with various detergents

It's like the Jetsons to us "oldsters",

Well, I hope you find what you're looking for...

condensation is not evidence?

It's like the Jetsons to us "oldsters",

EVs are like Jetsons to us soon-to-be oldsters

 

[donotdothis]

no

 

[Cheshire_Kat]

You guys know that EV's are not exactly new, right? Just now they are widely commercially available.

They had EV's back in 1912

I think you're conflating gas with space.

Gas dont exist its a hoax.

 

[alasdairm]

as in air

yes, the air in earth's atmosphere contains water in the form of water vapor.

the amount - the so-called relative humidity - can be measured with a hygrometer.

Just ban the fucker

I am well aware. Air is a mixture of gases including gaseous water.
That air is in a space. One Gas is not inside of the other gas. They are beside each other in the space.
Correct me if I'm wrong.
