When we go to the Bahamas and get that nice, clear as gin fuel there is no haze after the first couple loads. From what I remember of NY the whole place is nothing but brown haze you need to come down to the fresh air and sunshine to see it.LOL

Re: Dipstick
SO2, Sulfur dioxide, is a colorless gas. You can't see it. Your haze has some other stuff in it.

Re: Dipstick
NOPE!! Thats a pair of tired 12-71s off Biloxi... Us big guys just run at hull speed... no need to rush out to the canyons for the tournaments!
SO2 in itself is odorless and colorless, but when viewed in concentration from a distance, it and the impurities carried along produce that light brown/gray haze... Look at a powerplant discharge from 20 miles away on a still day... Probably the UV affecting the visibility (?). ws
