To solve this problem, use sta-bul or another fuel treetment in every tank. I keep a bulk supply (buy it in 5 gal tanks) and it goes into every tankful. The products help seperate the water out (making the fuel hydrophobic).
So when this product "separates" the water, where does the water go?

[QUOTE=Shayhan27;3167079]sta-bul and other products like it, bond to the H2O in the fuel and make it combustable (I can't remember the exact chemical compound it forms) so that it will burn cleaner and not foul the burn rate of said fuel.
It goes out the exaust pipe.

Sony doesn't make the LCD screens that go into their LCD TVs, they buy the screens from Samsung's plant in South Korea then assemble their TVs in Japan. So if you compare the same sized TV from Sony and Samsung with the same specs, yet Sony's costs more? Yep, Sony's price markup.
The machines used to deposit the pixels onto the glass of the biggest TV's on the market are also used to make smaller screens, all the way down to hand-held devices. They simply cut the glass into smaller pieces after it comes out of the machine.
More than 75% of the world's LCD panels are made by machines designed locally in Santa Clara. Building the machines made the company one of the US's top consumers of aluminum, they were even the #1 consumer at one point. Most of this company's manufacturing has moved to Asian now since the systems got so big they couldn't ship them with 747 cargo jets any longer (and shipping via An-225 was done a couple of times, but proved to not be cost effective).

My friends dad was an "expert witness" in a copyright infringement case involving LCD screens. He hired me and my friend to go to best buy and purchase 20 brand new LCD tvs and smash them into pieces for him.

Yes, they use the same panels. But the processor inside, what actually transmits the picture, is different. Along with a whole host of other parts. And if you haven't noticed recently, Samsungs cost more than Sony's now. Unless you are looking at Sony's top of the line. Otherwise you will pay more for the Samsung.
Another thing I just remembered, these same systems were converted to try and make low cost solar panels. Essentially using the same process to etch photo receptive pixels rather than display pixels on the glass. After 1-2 years and $2 billion spent on development the project was scrapped. They were only able to get to about 10% solar efficiency but it wasn't uniform across the glass so it wasn't cost effective.

Just curious, do you guys actually heed requests to be removed from mailing lists?
