I guess the 'physical properties module' (see Eliza thread) was not updated to include the difference in densities between liquids and gases.
It is obvious neither of you have a clue.
Go on then, give us all a laugh. How much water did you say 'gas contained'?
I'm tempted to leave this thread alone.
It was clear that IMM meant to say something like there is more water in burning natural gas than oil "per kg of fuel burnt" but went and spoilt things by saying "per cubic metre".
It is just that the numbers don't stack up:
1 m^3 of natural gas has a mass of about 600g of which 150g is Hydrogen which burns to give about 1.35kg of Water. 1m^3 of oil has about 800kg mass of which about 70% is hydrogen and 30% is Carbon. Doing basic school chemistry shows that's about 130kg of hydrogen which yeilds about 1170kg of Water.
Natural gas or fuel oil creates water as a by-product. For each cubic meter of natural gas, theoretically 1.6 litres of water is produced. For each litre of fuel oil approximately 0.9 litres of water is produced. An oil condensing boiler creates between 0.6 - 0.9 litres of condensate.
Take the BTU/hr that 1 cu metre of natural gas produces. Figure the amount of oil you need to produce the same BTU/hr figure. Then compare the water produced.
At last. How many websites did you have to visit to find out this?
At least you have a clue now.
This reminds me of a line from a monologue by the late actor Lord Bernard Miles:
"But I had a tidy good education. I could read when I was 18, only o' course not to understand it. "

Heh heh. But our resident 'professional' goes one further - he writes things he doesn't understand.
This one is as thick as they come. he wears yellow DeWalt boots. Yes he does, and works in an office.
He said "go to work on an egg"
He may well have done, but it was coined by Fay Weldon.
At least I suppose it brings us back to the topic of boilers.

He certainly did in an advert. But then you believe everything you read or hear in them, so no surprise there.
I have a Worcester Bosch Greenstar 28HE (condensing system boiler). It seems well put together and I have had no problems with it at all. Not so much as a single unexplained lock out. The flow temperature readout on the display is pretty useful, too. It is also much cheaper than some of the other well regarded makes (i.e. Vaillant, MAN). I got mine for 750 quid including VAT.
Anyway, do you have gas or oil, then? I'm talking about natural gas, here.
