With 4.5 gallons you are probably o.k. for tens of minutes of idling, Al.  I
was much more concerned about Chuck's tank because it sounded like a quart or
something without doing the math.  The bigger the tank the longer it takes to
heat it to a critical temp.  I posted a graph a while back...here's the
spreadsheet.

Any idea of the name of that graph so I can look it up Jeff?

Somebody please print Jeff's spreadsheet as plain text so those of use that don't use
excell can view it. Also bmp plots would be nice Jeff as I can convert them
to compact gifs.
