oga why don't you take things easy and stop behaving like you know everything. petrol is both a liquid and a gas, the difference now is petrol will turn to gas at Standard temperature and pressure (STP) what we normally call room temperature. to keep petrol in its liquid form, some form of modification is needed for temp and pressure to avoid or reduce change of state.

this is car talk not PhD in chemistry class

lol at the bolded. . matter can never exist in two forms at the same time . . e.g. water is both liquid and solid .. . afterall water changes to ice when freezed . . . matter can only exist in one form, and can change to another form (change of state)
so naturally petrol is liquid . . and when subjected to normal atmospheric conditions, vaporises over time and becomes gas

water is naturally liquid . . when freezed becomes ice . . and when boiled becomes water vapour (gas)

so what are even saying sef ?

Denn:
Dear chemist

Does petrol evaporate or not if left in the open?

If you pour one litre of petrol in a tray and one litre of water in another tray and put both outside at noon, which one will first 'disappear'?

If you park a car in the sun with all the evap lines rusted off, fuel pump gaskets not properly sealed and other possible 'hole' scenarios, will the fuel evaporate?

That has been the simple point.

I quote sources. It's a good idea when you debate. Only beer parlour debaters quote statisitics or points from the moon.

You are a biochemist yet the only chemicals you have ever mixed is gari and sugar. Don't derail with your unfounded analysis.

Below is a link to a proper research on evaporative losses of petrol in fueling stations in Canada.

https://www.nairaland.com/2376771/practical-broiler-production-step-step

Petrol evaporates...simple

Which kind of chemist does not know matter can change state?

When you boil water, it changes state from liquid to gas. When you freeze water, it changes to solid. Basic integrated science. I did not need to become a gari biochemist to even remember that.

You change the state of a liquid to gas, mostly by heating whilst you change a gas to liquid by condensation.

Increased temperature applied to petrol (our tropical heat) can make petrol evaporate.

Another experiment.

Put a keg half filled with petrol in a sunny place. Ensure the keg is tightly sealed. After one hour, try to open the keg. You will hear a slight hiss of the 'gassed' petrol escaping.

Biochemist...revert with further ' off point' analysis

what r u even saying sef? u r just going round and round in an endless loop of mumbo-jumbo . . back to the basics

u said petrol is gas . . . (type of matter)
and i said wrong . . petrol is liquid ( type of matter)

it is very simple? can you drink petrol? yes !
can you pour it out ? yes
can you wash with petrol? yes u can wash with it . .

so according to you, petrol is gas . . can you drink gas?
can you pour gas into a container
can you wash with gas?

ball is in your court, sir !!!!

Denn:
Gas of a kind suitable to be burnt for illuminating or heating purposes; originally = coal-gas n., but now including (a) various artificial mixtures consisting chiefly of carburetted hydrogen, and distinguished by defining words indicating the source from which they are obtained, as water-gas, oil-gas, etc.; and (b) = natural gas n.).
Then, the ol suffix indicated that they were using an oil-based form:

Forming the names of oils and oil-derived compounds (in systematic use in Chem. now replaced by -ole suffix2), as benzol, furfurol, indol (now usually indole), myrrol, pyrrol (now usually pyrrole).
Then the chemical suffix ene or ine was added. So gasoline, when broken down into its parts, perfectly describes what petroleum is: an oil form of a natural gas. The Oxford English Dictionary writes that the first usage of gasolene was in 1865, and was already being used to refer to what the UK call petrol.

"Gasoline--sometimes, but incorrectly, called naphtha--is one of the lighter products obtained during the distillation of crude petroleum. The nature of the substance is such that it slowly changes to a vapor, or gas , at ordinary temperatures, and if left in an open vessel soon entirely disappears by evaporation."

http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/39778/why-does-gasoline-have-the-word-gas-in-it-if-its-never-gaseous

emphasis mine.

petrol or gasoline is in liquid form but slowly changes to gas at room temp. A car left in the sun has an ambient temp higher than room temp.

in simple terms, petrol evaporates in hot temps....and leaks out from leaky tanks

You just copied n pasted stuffs you understand not . . . Without mincing words. .
define liquid . . . a liquid is a form of matter that flows, are not held tightly by their respective bonds and can take the shape of any container . .
define gas . . a form of matter that are not held at all by their respective bonds, cannot be seen, some can be smelt, others cannot be smelt, and exert pressure on the walls of their container

define solid . . a form of matter held tightly by the individual bonds, takes its own predefined shape?

can you drink gasoline? yes, then its liquid . .
can you pour it out? yes, then it is liquid
does it flow? yes , then it is liquid. .

gas does not flow like water, gas cannot be drunk . . gas does not take the shape of its holding container . .

if we wanna go into advanced / molecular chemistry, then we can divide into components . . e.g water

water is liquid by default , it occurs naturally as liquid . . in its frozen state, it's a solid, but its still water . .
in its vaporised states, it's a gas, but it is still the same water . .
a molecule of water can be broken down into 2 atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen in two distinctive places. . . gives us 2H20
hydrogen is gas .. oxygen is gas . . . but just because they are gas and make up water, doesnt mean water is a gas . . it's liquid still

You didnt bother to read and understand your own quote . . where it say . . it slowly changes into vapor or gas at normal temperatures, if left in an open vessel. . . OMG, that is change of state . .we even have solids that change to liquids on exposure to air . . .

if you did chemistry, do yu remember . . efflorescence, deliquescence and hygroscopy ?

P.S.: I don't need google to prove facts . . you're talking to a Biochemist

nissparts:
Are you in Lagos?

Yes sir !!!

GAZZUZZ:
Drive to a pit, take off your agbada go under your car with the engine running and take a look your self.

I recently had a problem$ like urs and the leak was not from the steering rack but a rusted metal pipe on steering rack.

And how did you fix it? Replaced the rusted metal, welded it? or
changed the rack with one whose metal wasn't rusted . . i presume u have a pit . . can i use it?

Denn:
Check for vapour leaks around the tank area....broken or rusty evap lines.

Check for poor fuel pump gasket seals.

A tank not sealed properly will allow for evaporation.

Remember, petrol is called gas in some countries....it has a reason

Point of correction: It's called gas; short for GASOLINE !
This doesn't mean your regular air , liquid and gas ! Nope. petrol is not a gas , it is liquid . .
most forms of liquids vaporise when exposed to air . . only that some do it very slowly e.g water
and some do it very quickly e.g alcohol

Tokunbo steering racks are not reliable. that's why u have issues.

hope you are not a rough driver either.

Rough na . . . and where would i get a genuine new one, except off eBay
i don't trust these naija "new" stuffz

Do cars still use power steering

electronic power steering all the way ooo.


back to your query, your steering rack is still bad. replace

Yes cars still use power steering . . .
If i follow ur advice, then it would be the 3rd time i am replacing it

need advice on an altima 03 2.5s
power steering fluid was leaking, ddnt know, til it got low, topped it up, and i noticed that it still leaks but takes about 2mths or so to get low
fast forward 8mths . . . power steering fluid leaks totally under 24hrs like tap
changed steering rack . . after 1 week, fluid goes to low , still leaking
the mechs checked the hoses and they are intact, even check the fluid container , all good
changed rack 2nd time, and chnged power steering pump, changed hoses too
worked for like 2 weeks . . started leaking again . .
now have to top up every 4days or so . . .
sad sad sad sad

bizzle2:
You sound ignorant, his listing is for a 15" macbook not 13"
And most of your config and other assertions are wrong.
For instance the 13" 2015 rMb is clocked at 2.7 Ghz not as u earlier stated, and even tho I see you corrected yourself later,..no model (base or otherwise) of the 2015 retina macbook pro or the new macbook is priced @ $1000 , shows how certain you are of the assertions you make.
If you're not interested, why don't you just let him be.

i see Nigerians don't like to read . . .
Like my point stated earlier . . i'll rather go for post -2012 macbook pro adding some cash than his pre-2012 macbook
why?
because even the post-2012 macbook pro 13" murder his pre-2012 macbook pro 15"
i hope you are aware than a core-i5 processor manufactured in 2015 will murder even a core-17 processor manufactured in 2010/2011
That was & is my basis for judgment . . These processors and specs get upgraded every yr . . to the extent that a latest 13" comes with all the perks an old-school 15" won;t give you e.g. Video RAM & No. of threaded cores etc

Y'all should go back and read again !!

sinebaba:
There is freedom of speech don't prompt you to abuse it. If someone sell fake something or cripple laptop for you, you will panicking here. Stop feeding us with lies here, do you know how many hours I used on eBay and other shopping site daily? If you have means of getting macbook pro at a cheaper rate why can't you do the biz or you don't like money? do your part help nairalander to get laptop cheap mr lion makavele

u dont have sense !

this a macbook pro 15 with retina display early 2013 model for just about 185k with 1 hr left for the bid . .
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Macbook-Pro-retina-15-inch-early-2013-/221799076748?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a441538c

this is another with 2.7 GHz i-7 processor, 15" with retina display at about 197k
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-15-Retina-Mid-2012-2-6GHz-i7-YOSEMITE-FINAL-CUT-WINDOWS-8-/181775601182?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a52ab8e1e

and this is another 2.3ghz i7 8GB RAM 256GB SSD for 216k same 15"
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Retina-MacBook-Pro-15-2-3ghz-i7-8GB-RAM-256GB-SSD-MC975LL-A-Apple-Care-Warranty-/281724028306?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41980f8592

so tell me why won't a sane person add just 30k to his 180k . . to make it 210k and get a newer version !!!
remember macs are upgraded yearly, Apple is not stupid, there must be a reason for the yearly update . .

olalekanba :

Did u bother to read my post at all or u just skimmed through. Pls go back and re-read.and to correct the lies you said i told.

here goes one:

Late 2013 macbook pro retina below the $1000 mark . . with 256 GB ssd and 8GB RAM

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-13-RETINA-Core-i5-2-4-8GB-256SSD-LATE-2013-MINT-/221801819048?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33a46b2ba8

This is another for $845
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-MacBook-Pro-RETINA-13-Late-2013-2-4GHz-i5-4GB-Ram-128GB-SSD-/171822159573?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item28016616d5

Based on the current exchange rate which floats around N199 to N215 per dollar depending on your bank, cos Stanbic charges 199. something per dollar . . FCMB around 214 . . . we still don't even get to the N200,000 naira benchmark . . . and
for the 1st one, about N210,000 thereabout, so I am accurate . . with my data

Lets head over to the official Apple's US store: http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/macbook-pro
Base model goes for $1299 (as against my earlier misqoute of $1099) and even at that . . it's the newer unboxed version . . goes for 8 GB RAM and and upgradeable SSD


In summary, It's your item and you can put any price you want . . I am only saying for that specs, your price is quite up north !!!
That's why I referenced dazekid's post . . just because it's Apple, we have that mentality that it must be a killer-price . . or pocket-drainer. Nope !!! If u had gone through my post well, I said . .

I'll rather lavish 200k - 210 k on a post-2012 model, than 180k or even 160k on a pre-2012 model . . and you said no post-2012 model can be gotten for about 210k and I just showed u 2 examples from today's eBay listing . . .

As for shipping, are you shipping via container or RORO? We know the drill, on or off nairaland . . On nairaland here, many ppl offer that service for not even up to 8k (considering the poor exchange rate) to have it shipped to ur doorstep (depending on weight) and the mac is superlight . . .e.g mikkyangel, balogunsam, chinosxl . . so don't make it look like you are paying another 100 or 200 usd for shipping . .

we all have contacts abroad who send it to us via mass-shipping !!!

p.s.: i am not hating on you, afterall i wished you happy sales earlier !!!

referencing his post below:

dazekid:
acbooks are released twice a year, you cannot expect the price for a 13 inch Macbook pro that was released in early 2013 to be the same as one that was released in 2011 even though they may both have a core i7 processor, 4GB RAM and 500GB storage.
Another thing which is common on nairaland is you sellers seem to think that because a laptop has a core i7 processor then it should be very highly priced without actually considering the fact that there are different generations of i7 processors as well as different numbers of cores and extras for the processors. You also seem to think it is a novelty that your's comes with 8GB RAM even though the RAM is user upgradeable and RAM is actually very cheap to self-install. Yet you place a near 10% markup on the higher RAM models, lai se apple.

sinebaba:
You ppl will never mind your biz on NL, am very sure you don't know what you are talking about. If you go on eBay or Amazon the least price you can get dis config is $800 shipping it here etc will cost you more. If you are not interested in buying something don't use your useless time to write rubbish

Stop saying what you don't know . I have used all apple products to the extent that i should be given an award
I bought a 2013 macbook air with 256 GB SSD, 8 GB RAM . . 1.3 GB Video RAM . . with higher clocked core 1.5 CPU along with carton manuals and all
on eBay for a friend and it was for USD750
The newest Macbook pro with Force Touch/Trackpad and Iris Video controllers 1.5 GB video ram
and clocked at 2.4 GHz core i-5 cpu goes brand new on the apple site for USD1,099 . . .
same for the latest version of the Macbook . . the latest of the latest that comes without internal fans and yet doesn't even heat . . . where apple finally displayed their witchcraft . . base model goes for USD 1,099 thereabout

so why would i buy a pre-2012 model for 180k , when i can add just about 20-30k and get a post-2013 model off eBay . . .
I remember dazekid's post . . just because it's apple doesnt mean u must write such crazy price . . .
the specs matters . . and i am talking inbuilt specs . . for hell's sake, i can easily buy external 1TB ssd if i so desire . .

give us the base config specs and yr of production, then' we will tell u a very good price tag
and the last time i checked . . there was freedom of speech on NL

With a Magsafe charger, 512 MB VRAM & 2.2 GHz processor ;
nobody would buy at that price considerin the fact that's it's an older version of macbook pro

with 180k . . they;ll get a newer Macbook Pro with Retina display and 1.5 GB video ram off eBay . .
or even the lower spec'd but more modern and latest edition of the Macbook Air . . simply called the Macbook

Happy sales bro !!!

Good evening sir,
We do not do physical examination but can be done if you desire.
There are registered vehicle examiners that can help with inspection of the desired Lot for a fee but what happens if an examiner charges you $150 to inspect and certify it NOT Okay? Another examiner inspect another somewhere and says NOT Okay?
We don't want our clients loosing money for inspections.
In most cases you save hundred of thousands to Millions of Nairas for vehicles procured on Copart/IAAI so spending a few thousands of Naira to rectify a jerking car sound like a great deal still.
NOTE - If copart says a Car Rins and Drive then it very often does.

2kva 24vdc inverter, batts, rack- 220k
1200w solar, racks, installation- 350k
Total. -570k

Many Thanks

Good quote, but the solar system is a little bit high ohh. quick questions for you:
With your above configuration, can i literally yank my electric wires off the pole and say goodbye to PHCN.
Cos normally, PHCN only gives us power for just about 3 days in a whole week . . .

During the day, can this config enable me use the inverter while charging it at the same time?
Or i have to switch it off to charge it well?

How long will it take the solar system to charge the batteries from zero to full? if i am not charging with a generator !

feflo:
The difference is in the quality of output supplied by both, the pure sine has an output similar to the one supplied by utility ie PHCN and is suitable for all equipment. Modified on the other hand has output thats not as smooth & pure, it will power most household equipment except for some highly sophisticated medical machines. It is the most used in Nigeria because its more affordable.

i once visited a friend who uses an inverter and i could see that while using it, his TV set has some wavy lines (sometin like electrical noise)
i guess that's as a result of the M S Wave, if i am not mistaken ?

i've seen lots of vehicles on copart as "runs and drive" . . . which means d vehicle starts n moves on its own . .
assuming u want to help me buy one; do u inspect the vehicle . . because there could be a hidden problem with the engine or overall condition
which isn't listed on the advert e.g.

the engine could be mis-firing, jerking, dying after driving for some minutes
the chassis could be disfigured due to impact
power steering/rack could be leaking . . .

the reason i ask is because the ads do not contain enough details . . just . ."front damage", "side damage", "read damage" etc

feflo:
No sir, for now thats the price.

lest i forget . .

what's d diff. btwn. your modified sine wave ;

and

the pure sine wave models ?
