Hi Jeff,

Did you see the Packard diesel explanation?

Yeah, but my recollection of the day is we had convinced ourselves that it
must be as Paul recently described because nothing else made sense.

I agree that there

is plenty of cooling going on, but with a smooth pipe there should
be no real problem with icing in the sense of obstruction the
airflow and causing power losses

We've done a lot of research in the icing tunnels lately for our airplanes.
 Ice pretty much sticks in stagnation zones and goes on by everything else.
