When will oil stop seeping out of the U.S.S. Arizona?

Its been seeping out for 67 years from the bottom of Pearl Harbor, how long will it continue?When will oil stop seeping out of the U.S.S. Arizona?
The Arizona leaks about a quart of oil a day into Pearl Harbor. Since know one knows precisely how much fuel was aboard when she sank, or how much fuel was burned in the explosion, no one can say precisely how long she will keep leaking oil. But there is a tradition among the survivors of Arizona that she will continue leaking oil until the last survivor has died.When will oil stop seeping out of the U.S.S. Arizona?
Short answer is until there is none left.





To calculate you would have to know the answer to far too many variables; such as how much there is, how big the holes are, temperature variations, if new holes will appear...





No matter what it will be a very long time indeed.:)
It's amazing isn't it, 67 years later, the oil is still leaking. When I was there in 1984, it was almost like you could hear them men as well. That's a grave for hundreds of sailors.
Well dude! It had like a million gallons in it and it only lets it loose drip by drip... probably a very long time
Until Japan is destroyed....?
