<< Let's say you're stopping at a local pub to pick up a keg of your favorite

Warsteiner brew. It's dark, you have your lights on. You stop in the

'loading zone' turn ignition off, and hop out. In the mean time the parking

lights stay on to let everyone know you're on a mission. Load up the keg,

hook it up to your sink faucet, and you're off! Start up the Vanagon, the

headlights come back on and your battery is saved. >>

Impressive! Didn't appreciate the true cultural depth of the members of the list. SWMBO has insisted for years that the tap and valve I installed for the keg was overkill. She opined that taking the beer (that Warsteiner goes down well) out of the faucet fooled no one, since the keg was clearly visible even with the insulation. I think I did convince her that the CO2 cylinder was just for fire control with the fridge.
