    @ShooterK2 I normally am not for this. But if you know the other cylinders are ok, put one kit in it and a head and roll. But check the turbo. You should be ok. This is a acceptable time to do 1 cylinder and not feel bad about it.

    Two cute younger girls just rolled through the parking lot here, knocked on a few random doors, then made another loop and left.

    Definitely not the normal "talent" Ive seen around here before.

    Well I spose that’s one way to look at it. I ain’t willing to take a bath because someone else is a bad negotiator and/ or has a break down.
    I be the first to help out- in my personal life. I don’t truck for favors much though; we gotta be good friends for that.

    I got friends that pay me good for trucking. If they didn’t, we’d be friends, n I’d truck for somebody else.

    You're correct, moose man and shoulda worded it differently. I guess in redneck terms we gettin to calling it negative atmosphere because techically the atmosphere in the tank is not what it was when its pressured up.

    Negative atmosphere obviously is when you pull a vacuum. When doing so it boils moisture and such....hence vacuum on a a/c system.

    I think you understand the process tho. You are changing ambient pressure, and when you start changing vapor space, and depending on the product (H2O versus something like a volatile product like LPG) the liquid flash is very different between the 2. You are changing the atmosphere of the vapor properties so much that it compresses into a liquid. Temp affects this chemical reaction majorly.

    @MagnumaMoose , I want you to visualize this if you can.

    If I take a vessel into load that has a vacuum put on it to 28inches of mercury on it, we are at dang near max negative atmosphere. If we start the pump to pump vapor load, will the vapor be able to compress into a liquid?

    It would have to reach the point of static pressure, and then the pump would have to start pushing hard on it to compress it enough to achieve enough pressure to compress the vapor into liquid in the vessel. It's a tricky science for sure, but when I take a empty tank that has zero pressure on, when I load, once liquid flash starts, the tank sweats profusely because of the extreme change of atmosphere.

    Let's not call it negative atmosphere, let's call it positive pressure (force/area).

    Also, to give you an idea on pressure in the tank, I never drop below 40 or so in the tank when I haul propane, and 250psi is max. So I'm always pressured even when empty.

    Only time I'm zero pressure is when the tank has been bled down for repairs.
