I forgot that one.. When my daughter was very small, she converted "educational" to edunucational". That term has now morphed into meaning less than quality education, more show than quality. Very much like the unintended results of "No Child Left Behind" where schools are teaching to the tests because the fear the bureaucratic consequences of not meeting the "test" standards The Atlanta School Board also appears to have been providing "edunucation" with all the cheating on the tests that was rampant in the system
I rest my case. If you follow back, you will find it was YOU who said I needed to google up the information. When I did, you did a 180. You were the writer who seemed to think a tank could be filled with enough water to spray by itself with no airspace.
The problem here is the OP didn't know about the bladdered tanks used in well water systems. I didn't either since I've never encountered them. Anyway, a suitable fire extinguisher is probably more practical to put out cotton fires. Anybody care to hear my "big wrench" story? The wrench weighed about 500 pounds. Slugging wrench of course.
A household type well pressure tank has a bladder in it. You put water in which compresses the air behind the bladder. Its ideally suited for holding water and delivering it as thousands of average people are capable of using them to problem free for years on end to provide water to their homes from their private well. While the OP was not particularly nice about it, a pressure tank would work admirable well for this applications I suspect. You can buy them from places like Home Depot for a few hundred dollars. Pressure tanks are available in steel and fiberglass. There are also older style deliver tanks which did not use a bladder, but air in the system was still required at a certain point. In both types well head pressure from the well pump is adequate to charge the system. In addition their our gravity systems. This is required for low pressure pumps like wind wills which lift rather than pump water. My dad is a certified water system operator and more than once I was out in the middle of the night with him helping to bleed the main water tank (non bladder type) when it got too much air in the main tank for the subdivision where we lived. (Usually after a storm induced power failure)
Ideally a bulk tank with a pump is used in remote application for delivering volumes of water. Fire departments often have a tanker, but it is not a pressurized system. For road departments with a "water truck" style tanker that have to wet down dirt and gravel roads often gravity feed is adequate pressure.
The main idea behind a well storage tank is that there is a range of storage/pressure. This way the well pump does not kick on and off every time somebody flushes a toilet or turns on a faucet for a few seconds. Instead the excess water and pressure is delivered from the pressure tank and the well pump can kick on less often and run continuously for a longer period when it does. The pump motors tend to last significantly longer this way.
Do you plan to follow your dozen messages revealing your ignorance of well pressure tanks with a dozen messages revealing your ignorance of what quotation marks mean?
One of the characters in the "March to.." series (military sci-fi), by John Ringo, had a "big pocking wrench" to solve certain technical problems.. You might relate... :-)
AFAIK the Maroons were escaped Cuban slaves living in very uncivilized conditions in the mountains. We encountered them during the Spanish American War, tried with little success to use them as scouts, and apparently became very disgusted with them and Cubans in general, while our troops respected the Spanish they fought. That's based only on a few memoirs I read. YMMV.
