    Confusion on fuel and more.

    Update 4: we now are able to actually see oil pressure readings and not guess.

I hate you. But, we have...

    Confusion on fuel and more.

    Since everything was fresh from the motor to the suspension my bright idea was to just go electric for fuel. Again, I am new to building anything other than an audio system lol. This has taught me a LOT!
