Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Unusual sub on Flickr

Aye, I can understand the bouyancy point, but why anti-freeze? That's a pretty toxic thing to use, that stuff is worse than oil.. I forget the exact ratio but one teaspoon of that stuff can contaminate several hundred/(thousand) gallons of water... I know one teaspoon of fuel oil in a dsally on a ship can contaminate the whole thing thus pissing off some poor schmuck who has to flush and clean the thing. (don't ask how I know this)

The wheels stay on in the water - they are filled so they wouldn't upset the center of buoyancy when immersed. (It was an antifreeze/water mix so it wouldn't freeze.)

Why would you fill tires with anti-freeze?
