i know that, what i was reffering to was the electrical load from the blower fan, which is why i feel that can't be right cuz, its not that much

anyways, Traceys been doing alot of running around driving on this tank, she does do the neutral costing, but thats about it, we will see what happens, plus, it'll show how she is doing, normally i'm the one driving her car
