Then there'd be no need for a pump. For diesels frothing could be a problem, of course, unless there's a really big connector pipe and/or big breathers. Filling my diesel Corolla at a car pump is a pain... but filling my diesel 88 Skyline with a truck pump was painless and oh-so-fast. -- Regards Andrew Grebneff Dunedin New Zealand Fossil preparator Mollusc, Toyota & VW van fan |
