Neighbor, who was in the trucking business, said he once had a truck with a Cummins engine that had a compression release. If a car continued to draft him in spite of his flashing the brake lights, turning on the emergency lights, slowing down, etc.; he would take his truck out of gear, floor board the accellerator, and operate the compression release. A fine mist would coat the tailgaters windshield with a film of diesel fuel. If he turned on his wipers, which many did, it would smear and he/she would have to stop and clean the windshield. He would also find that the whole front of the car had a very thin coating of diesel fuel. Gerry ...............................
