Warthog Fuel Jugs

Why does the Warthog have fuel jugs on the back? I don’t know what the Warthog runs on, but couldn’t fuel jugs strapped to the back be an oxymoron? Even if the stuff wont blow up when shot, they can still leak out. I think a better place to put them would be behind the seats.

Also, why are the red team spartans so orange?

Thoughts??

They run on Hydrogen Engines.

Those probably could explode when shot…

It’s likely water.

Don’t you think you should find out what the Warthog runs on before you start saying things like that?

> They run on Hydrogen Engines.

You are correct sir, Warthogs run off of Hydrogen, now that we know the fuel it runs on, we need to understand where we can get Hydrogen, and one of the most common source of Hydrogen is in fact Water, H2O. So which do you think will be safer to store in a jug on the back of the vehicle? A weak jug containing pure hydrogen that can explode when exposed to a flame or spark? Or a jug of water?

> It’s likely water.

You are Correct, water is a safer option because water doesn’t catch on fire, nore is it a hazard if it leaks like most fuels.

> Even if the stuff wont blow up when shot, they can still leak out.

Not all fuels blow up when shot, in fact, most fuel don’t even catch on fire with out both heat and pressure. But most fuels, the liquid isn’t what is flammable, but in fact the vapor.

> I think a better place to put them would be behind the seats.

And what makes you the expert on where to put fuel jugs? maybe it’s a better idea to keep fuel jugs on the out side of the vehicle, where it’s easy to get a hold of and fuel up your vehicle. But he, I have no clue, it’s not like I’m a train 92 foxtrot petroleum supply specialist or any thing… wait a sec… I am.

> Those probably could explode when shot…

NOPE, guess what they do instead!

THEY FALL OFF! It’s true, I’ve seen it!

Water indeed … and those jugs can’t explode

Edited.

Didn’t see the other guys post. I suggested the jugs should go behind the seats because I was going on the assumption that they could blow up.

Even if bullets wouldn’t do the trick, Halo(like any other game) does have weapons that would do the trick.

<mark>WATER</mark>

It’s spartan polish.

Triple posted…sorry. These forums are still incredibly buggy.

Personally, I wouldn’t put jugs full of fuel that would blow up behind my seat, I wouldn’t even put them on the vehicle. Also, like I pointed out in my other post, not all fuels blow up when they’re shot at by normal rounds, yes, plasma rounds would light it on fire or blow it up, but most likely just light it on fire. the only fuels that blow up are gases, not liquid fuels like what you’d store in jugs. The reason why most fuel jugs in video games blow up when you shoot them, is because it’s fun to watch things blow up in video games.

Actually, the water theory sounds a lot better than pure Hydrogen.

It also explains the crew of the Daedalus thingy that survived on that hostile planet.

Yes, and if you had a converter that could convert water into Hydrogen, would not only be a good way to store your fuel as water in the fuel tank, and then convert it into Hydrogen, you wouldn’t have to worry about the fuel tank being armored. Plus the Engine would convert Hydrogen into both energy, and water, which the water can then be piped back into the fuel tank. you’re fuel would last longer than it normally would in a vehicle with out a water to hydrogen converter.

Water or not, it’s never smart to put your fuel supply sticking outside of your vehicle. Once shot, it leaks and you are screwed. Unless their tanks are impenetrable, which I doubt.

Yeah, and yet some vehicles have their fuel tanks in places like that.

OK… POL… Relax. I’ll take 1500 gallons of JP8, over the wing. Can I get an ETIC? Also, 15 minutes after you refuel, I’ll need a Defuel truck.

Good friend of mine worked POL in the Air Force, always loved kidding that he was an over paid gas station attendant.

Anyways… I heard somewhere the fuel was stored in the tires on the Warthog.

There’s tea and lucozade in them to keep the Spartan going on the battlefield…

But seriously, it’s probably water.

Nice try but you’re wrong. While the Warthog does run on hydrogen, you don’t use water to power a fuel cell. Water is a source of hydrogen and it’s also the byproduct of a fuel cell. The hydrogen used in fuel cells has to be extracted and compressed before it could be used. You can’t just pour water in your fuel cell and think that it’ll extract the hydrogen, compress it, store it, and then use it as fuel. If you’re going to do all that, cut out the extraction process and add an extra storage tank. More than likely they are regular fuel tanks that 343i added just for the sake of adding crap that no one asked for.

I don’t see “Fuel Jugs” catching on in matchmaking…

lol, Jugs.
