Alvaro84 You are right about what happens when it rains, what I am saying is that until there is so much water in the volume of air that no more water can be absorbed the air gets less dense, as more water is added to the volume of air; beyonde its saturation point, and actual water droplets form, creating rain, fog, hail, snow sleet etc the density of a volume of air goes up. My daughter looked up the data and did some sample equations and even she was surprised at the outcome untill she thought about it for a minute because it seems so counter intuative. But once she thought about it and explaned it, it made sence, even with my more limited understanding of such things.

KawboyCafe What you see in the EMgarage pics is the quick and dirty version, not the proper solution that you suggest. I will keep this version on until I have run 3 [1200km, 750miles] or more tanks of fuel through it and then do what you suggest, probably next summer.
