    If your gona do this

    Americans are ignorant about Canadians:

    True, very true, but why should we care about knowing more about them? Our Economy and National Defense is not dependant upon them (thank god or we would all be speaking French) instead of Spanish or I mean English. They should pay close attention. Not bashing Canadians facts are facts...

    Fueling

    Why does diesel have so much air when pumping it. I look into my tanks after pumping 100 - 150 gallons and cannot do a very good job topping the tanks off cause of all of the foam. If I top off at 3/4 quarters I can actually see liquid inside and not foam, waiting for the foam to settle...
