the spark plug is a special spark plug used i think in some older oil burners... i did a google search of like 6 part numbers/model of spark plug like these and THIS is the only one i found on the net... on a quite non-professionnal looking website but i bought it anyway LOL

i think the logical thing would be plumbing it THEN making a video lmao just kidding

next i have to find a 12v motor powerful enough to direct drive a procon rotary vanes pump... i emailed RCDON (if you dont know him search for it on google) about that waiting for an answer...

this pump will supply the diesel via a bleed off pressure ragulator valve to the main nozzle

then many fitting and copper line to install rig a diesel tank and test run!! daytime this time LOL

i would love to measure the amps on this thing but my multimeter only does 10 amps unprotected and i fear to fry it ... lol i tried hooking it up to my deep-cycle battery with little crocodile clamp cables and they both vapourized LOL
