    Pump or even check valves in primer pump. Dont really need to pressurize tanks. Just set bucket of fuel up on valve covers and have some one hold it from vibrating off. Gravity will do the rest. Must be at least 40 lbs or better for injectors to fire off.

    Just to let you know, “Ether” is an addiction for Diesel engines. Once they shoot up, there’s no turning back. No lie.......

    With that mileage, I would just burn it to the ground.

    Thats just bad driving habits. Im guilty of it myself. Hammer down all the time. But hey if your take home pay at the end of the week and fuel costs still put a smile on your face, why change your habits. Yet in the back of your mind you know you could still put another hundred or 2 in your wallet. Ive thought about it myself but i love that loud peddle.
