I was thinking of that. I figured that my 1600 diesel is putting out above 800 cc of air back into the air stream every revolution. Diesel being un throttled of course. If the exhaust is hotter than the ambient it is more volume. Figuring 2500 rpm or 41x800/sec plus some for the added heat, it is 4-5 liters a second, it has to have some significance, measurable at the fuel pump, I dont know.
