Dear Engineers,

I hope this message finds you well. I'm reaching out to seek guidance on a new project that I am undertaking: the construction of an Internal Floating Roof (IFR) tank with a dome roof. As I am relatively new to this position, this project presents a significant learning opportunity for me.

Recognizing the complexity and importance of this endeavor, I am eager to gather as much knowledge and insight as possible to ensure its successful execution. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate any resources, documents, or site links that you could share to aid in my understanding of the intricacies involved in the construction and design of such a structure.

Your expertise and assistance in this matter would be invaluable to me as I navigate through this project. Thank you in advance for any support you can provide.

Best regards,

Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
