Don't the diesel pumps need electricity to run them in your neck of the woods?

They do indeed...but I can use pumps in other towns and always have enough fuel left in my tank to travel at least 100 miles. the odds are i'll find a working fuel pump easier than an electrical charging point.

If they did then I might have one...Problem that we are going to have up here Scotland is the nut jobs that run the Scottish Parliament want to close our Nuclear Power stations and all Coal fired Power stations and run the place on Wind, troubles is we'd have to carpet Scotland with Wind turbines and add to that a drop in the wind and we will all be powerless.........Clowns!!
