T&T: Heeling and fuel tank crossover

[Bob McLeran]

keith & others,

my apologies for appearing to quedtiom your experience. It just seems to me, based on _my_  experience, that whatever listing is attributable to fuel crossing over is negligible and insignificant in the overall scheme of boat operation
 What boat sits exactly level? That is whay I was getting at, I suppose.

Someone pointed out that a boat seems to seeh its own equalibrium. 
Has anyone heard of a boat listing to a dangerous degree as a consequence of an open crossover line? I think that is the real issue.

Excuse me? What I posted was neither a hypothesis or speculation. It's what

happens when I leave my crossover line open. I feel no need to understand

nor provide scientific proof, since it's my experience. YMMV.

I'd be interested in seeing some scientific proof that fuel actually causes

a list to increase via an open crossover line; the hypothesis many posters

present is simply speculation without scientific proof, but then, so is my

anti-listing hypothesis, but at least it's based on experience with two

different boats.
