Recent observational evidence for steep dwarf galaxy luminosity functions in several rich clusters has led to speculation that their precursors, via supernovae (SNe)-driven galactic winds, may be the source of the majority of gas and metals inferred from intracluster medium (ICM) x-ray observations (Trentham 1994). Utilising a fully self-consistent photo-chemical evolution package (Gibson 1995), and insisting that the post-galactic wind dwarfs obey the observed colour-luminosity-metallicity relations, we demonstrate that the bulk of the ICM gas does not originate within their precursors (Gibson & Matteucci 1995).
