Carb icing is a totally different fish. What's going on inside a
carburator is liquid gasoline is evaporating and turning into vapor.
There's a phase change. It takes a huge amount of energy to effect a
phase change.


A phase change is involved in the discussion at hand, but the collapse of
water's "hydrogen bridge" makes the energy involved in a gasoline phase
change look like nothing.



Not sure what you mean by "hydrogen bridge". I'm certainly familiar
with hydrogen bonds, and heats of vaporization and fusion, and the
energy involved in surface tension, but not the term "hydrogen bridge".
Can you explain?
