What's wrong with my car if I can smell gas while I am driving?
Presuming a fuel injected car, I'd guess the answer is that you have a fuel leak. It would most likely be from a hose or hose fitting in the engine compartment. A strong smell of gas would indicate that it's leaking in the engine compartment, and being vaproized. Perhaps a drop hitting the exhaust, or a tiny spray from a small hole that leaks when you hit a bump that hits the engine block. This vapor would get sucked in the air intakes at the base of the windshield and into the cabin for your sniffing pleasure.Most of the fuel system other than the fuel lines is behind the driver, and less likely to be sucked into the cabin to be smelled. Unless you are smelling it when you stop, not while driving. In that case, it'd more likely be from the back of the car, not a fuel line. Though, when I say "fuel line" I should note that the fuel filter is usually in-line in the fuel line in the engine bay. A leak in the "fuel line" would include the possibility of a leak in the fuel filter, or the connectors around it.So it's important to note whether the smell is only while driving, only while stopped, or primarily one or the other, as well as the car make and model.If you are smelling gas while driving a VW Bug, the opposite of what I said would apply. The tank is in the front, and the engine and fuel filter in the back for the VW.
What are some symptoms of too much transmission fluid?
Excess transmission fluid will cause foaming in any transmission. Foam does not flow like oil, reducing cooling and lubrication. It also implodes on compression between gears or in the hydraulics of automatic transmissions, causing severe damage (pitting).In an automatic transmission, you will have higher temperatures and poor shifting, as it depends on solid hydraulic pressure, not spongy foam to move the clutches and bands.Automatic transmissions with dip sticks should be measured with the engine running, and consider the operating temperature. Note here how the heat affects the measurement. It should not be filled to the top when cold, or checked not running.If it does not have a dipstick, it is measured with the plugs on the side, depending on specific instructions per brand of car.Manual transmissions normally don't have dipsticks (some do). They are checked from a plug on the side of the transmission, and the level should normally be at the level of the plug, not above.
Would it kill you if you drank the liquid inside a glowstick?
Dangers Glow sticks contain hydrogen peroxide, and phenol is produced as a by-product. Therefore, it is advisable to keep the mixture away from skin, and to prevent accidental ingestion, if the glow stick case splits or breaks. If spilled on skin, the chemicals could cause slight skin irritation, and swelling or, in extreme circumstances, cause vomiting and nausea. However, many ravers will cut or break open a glow stick and apply the glowing solution directly to bare skin in order to make their bodies glow. It has been said that glow stick chemicals cause cancer,[8] although no research has suggested that they might. Also it is wise to avoid all contact with thin membranes such as the eye or nasal area. Despite reports to the contrary, it is not safe to smoke or ingest glowing phenol, and it will not produce any drug-like effects. The fluid contained in glow sticks can also dissolve some types of plastic. Wash with soap and water if liquid comes in contact with the skin. Flush eyes immediately with cool water if liquid comes in contact with the eyes. Some of the chemicals in glow sticks are flammable. that is from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glow_sticks... I would say that it would be very bad to drink it,and you would most likely be heading to the hospital if you did
How does water gets the smell of tulsi leaves when the tulsi leaves are boiled in Water?
Google "osmosis" Osmosis: the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. When you put an animal or plant cell into a liquid containing water one of three things will happen. If the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell (a very dilute solution) the cell will gain water by osmosis. Water molecules are free to pass across the cell membrane in both directions, but more water will come into the cell than will leave. The net (overall) result is that water enters the cell. The cell is likely to swell up. If the medium is exactly the same water concentration as the cell there will be no net movement of water across the cell membrane. Water crosses the cell membrane in both directions, but the amount going in is the same as the amount going out, so there is no overall movement of water. The cell will stay the same size. If the medium has a lower concentration of water than the cell (a very concentrated solution) the cell will lose water by osmosis. Again, water crosses the cell membrane in both directions, but this time more water leaves the cell than enters it. Therefore the cell will shrink. Also look into diffusion. Diffusion refers to the process by which molecules intermingle as a result of their kinetic energy of random motion. Consider two containers of gas A and B separated by a partition. The molecules of both gases are in constant motion and make numerous collisions with the partition. If the partition is removed, the gases will mix because of the random velocities of their molecules. In time a uniform mixture of A and B molecules will be produced in the container. Since the average kinetic energy of different types of molecules (different masses) which are at thermal equilibrium is the same, then their average velocities are different. Their average diffusion rate is expected to depend upon that average velocity. Diffusion and Osmosis are both types of PASSIVE TRANSPORT - that is, no energy is required for the molecules to move into or out of the cell. Sometimes, large molecules cannot cross the plasma membrane, and are "helped" across by carrier proteins - this process is called facilitated diffusion.
Is it dangerous if one of my stove burners won't light, but I smell gas when I try?
As long as the control knob is turned off, there is no danger. However, as long as you smell gas, there's a problem,especially if you have an older standing pilot unit (which I don't think you have, since you said it "clicks"). Be very careful and allow the gas to dissipate (open a window or door) after you turn the burner off. If you have left the control knob on for more than a minute, turn the gas off at the stove (and outside too, if you can), do not turn any lights on or off as you exit and get outside of the house before you call the fire department. A minute of gas is a lot. A few seconds won't hurt.If there is water in a burner port (which I'm sure is gone by the time I write this answer), or if the ignitor electrode is wet, the burner won't light. You can clear out the water and dry off the ignitor with a can of compressed keyboard cleaner. After spraying, wait a few moments for the propellant in the compressed air to evaporate off, and give your burner a try again.If you continue to have a problem, the burner port(s) nearest the ignitor may be clogged, and a toothpick will usually work to clean it out (try not to break off the toothpick in the holes).If it still doesn't light, it's possible that you need to re-position the ignitor to be in better spot. This is more likely on propane than natural gas, and there is a way to do it, but I'll leave that for another day.
Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of its bottle or tube?
It’s one of the mysteries of life that has confounded many students throughout history. That pasty substance we all call glue…it sticks things together, but doesn’t stick to the inside of the bottle! Why not?Is it magic? Nope! It’s science — and it’s all about water.The regular white glue most students know so well is made up of a variety of chemicals called polymers. These polymers are long strands that are either sticky or stretchy. Glue manufacturers have to find just the right combination of sticky and stretchy polymers to make the best glue.White glue also contains water. Water acts as a solvent that keeps the glue liquid until you want it to stick.When you put glue on a piece of paper, the solvent — water — is exposed to air. The water eventually evaporates (changes from a liquid to a gas). As the water evaporates, the glue dries and hardens. All that’s left are the sticky polymers that hold things together. This process is called mechanical adhesion.So why doesn’t white glue stick to the inside of the bottle? When white glue is inside a bottle, there’s not enough air inside the bottle to cause the water to evaporate to make the glue sticky. Basically, the bottle protects the glue from the air and keeps the glue runny. If you’ve ever left the top off a glue bottle for a while, you may have noticed that, unfortunately, the glue dried up!What about super glue? You may have noticed that super glue tends to dry out in its container more quickly than white glue.Super glue works differently than white glue. Instead of the polymers in white glue, super glue is made of a chemical called Cyanoacrylate. This chemical bonds things together when it reacts with water vapor in the air. This process is called chemical adhesion.No matter how dry the air may seem, there’s always some water vapor in the air. To keep super glue from drying out, its container must be kept tightly-sealed to prevent water vapor from seeping in and reacting with the glue.So whether you’re talking about white glue or super glue, water is the key. With white glue, you need the bottle to keep the water in the glue from drying up and becoming sticky. Super glue containers, on the other hand, keep water out to prevent the chemical reaction that will make the glue harden.
Non-yeast bread starter...?
I'm trying a new starter. The bread is called "Foolproof Shaker Salt Rising Bread," and the starter calls for 1 c. scalded milk, 1/2 c. corn meal, sugar, and salt. It says to cover tightly with cling wrap and place in a cold oven with the light turned on for 72 hours. I did this Saturday morning, and as of this morning (48 hours) you can imagine what it smells like with the milk in it. My question is: Has anyone made a starter using milk before? Obviously milk that has been left unrefrigerated will eventually smell pretty bad. The starter seem to be doing what it's supposed to--it's getting bubbly, etc. Is it supposed to be this stinky? Anyone ever made anything like this before??
