Will Water and Gas Mix?
Ford at his workWater and gas certainly do not mix. Ford found that out many years ago when he did a dumb thing.
We had bought an old car for a second one and it had a few things wrong, and some things missing. One thing missing was the cap for the gas tank.

Ford filled the tank up with gas and as a temporary fix he wadded up an old rag and stuffed it in the gas tank opening.
That worked fine until we got a rain. He was not thinking clearly and just left the rag in the gas tank opening. It got rain soaked and some of the water from the rain dripped into the tank.
That is when he found that gas and water do not mix! He tried starting the car and it would not start. Then he realized that the tank would have to be drained and refilled with gas. Fortunately, that was back when gas was not $4.00 a gallon.
Ford was an intelligent man but his intelligence was on vacation when he stuck that rag into that gas tank opening. He learned quickly what a dumb thing he had done!
