You're very correct, most people think 'fluid' means a liquid, but as you say - anything that flows- which includes air, exhaust etc. When a car won't run correctly, or at all, "It's just a blockage or leakage ( or more than one ) of fluids or electrons." Fluids include gas, oil, coolant, exhaust, air, vacuum, etc..... If you think of it hard enough, every vehicular mechanical failure is either a blockage or leakage of fluids or electrons : flat tire, failed wheel bearing, blown engine of course, ..and all the electrical/electronic stuff of course. So next time she craps out, or stumbles, or won't start - it's a "blockage or leakage of fluids or electrons." I will have to admit thought, worn tire tread and worn brake pads don't seem to fit this rule.

Mike, you mean liquids cannot be compressed. A fluid is something that flows. For example, natural gas is a fluid and can be compressed. Miguel |
