Sorry I didnt elaberate on what fuel I was getting. It was gas for my wifes car. Self pumping diesel makes sence because you can throw a lit match in diesel and nothing will happen. Diesel ignights under exteame pressure while gas explodes. Thats why gas is so dumb compaired to diesel. Most of the power/heat escapes through the exhaust manifold. Right?

Not sure how you knew I was in Jersey and Huntington but you are right and I will be keeping my eye on you.
