Water is the universal solvent. Given enough time water will dissolve your Model A as well as the wife's crystal glass set. Water doesn't burn and becomes a product of combustion and water has tremendous weight yet floats in air. Water flows and bends but can not be compressed and given the latent heat of condensation, stores energy in unbelievable amounts. Water is the best insulator of temperature change and absorbs heat and gives up heat in a constant rate. Water is the chief moderator of temperature. A falling barometer indicates a storm yet the air molecules are pushed so far apart by water the air has less weight and the mercury pushed up a tube by air pressure falls. And yet very dry air indicates high pressure. Air without water. Air without water weighs more than air with water. So why does your model 'A' run better on a cool dampish day? Anyway, way off the reservation here.


If your NOT loosing coolant;
Your making steam. For every 1,000,000 btu's burned about 100 lb of water vapor is condensed within cold tail pipes. That's the part you don't see.

Additionally upon exiting outside the pipe into cooler air you are condensing water vapor and making water and that's the part you do see coming out of the tail pipe.

To help save the black iron [steal] exhaust system from rusting out so fast the manufacture usually drills a weep hole in the muffler to let the water out.

When the wifes Datsun 310 blew a head gasket idling at a rail road crossing on the very day that John Lennon was shot and killed I thought I was driving a Stanley Steamer!

There is about 180,000 btu in one gallon of gasoline and just for poops and grins the world is surrounded in roughly a constant water vapor weighing approximately 700-trillion-billion metric ton of water vapor according to N.A.S.A..

Just because L.A. in California is out of water doesn't mean that the world is drying up since the weight of vapor remains a constant through out our 82,000 foot of atmosphere. It just means L.A. is and has always been a desert. Some places are so wet they wish they were a desert. And anti-personnel munitions do impact and detonate on rain drops.
