Check the monovalve and heater core pipes for heat -- if the monovalve
is stuck shut, you won't get any head at all.
Try the defrost, too -- should give you full heat out the windsheild
vents.

Exactly the opposite, ethanol is the cheapest octane booster around!
However, if the fuel delivery system cannot deliver enough fuel to
maintain the correct fuel/air ratio (much more ethanol required, on the
order of 30%), the engine will run too lean and detonate.

I am not sure about Porsche, but on the Mercedes it has a circuit to detect
ignition pluses and turns off fuel pump if engine is not running.
So do the ones in my 1970s Saab 99s. They fit in a standard five spade
relay
socket. Want me to check Bosch part numbers?

Mitch, Dave, Trampas -
I think that most M/B fuel pump relays also have a shutoff circuit that
limits the RPMs the engine can spin. If you exceed the set point it shuts
off the power to the fuel pump till the RPMs come back in range. Because of
that anti-overrev feature you may find many different

Actually, I don't think that a diesel nozzle will fit into the unleaded

necks down a mm or 2 in diameter, and the car's little flapper-door hole
is proportionately smaller too, so that the leaded nozzle wouldn't fit.

You are wrong, the big truck diesel nozzle is too large to fit inside
