This is a little off topic....

During some recent trouble-shooting with my engine, I tested my fuel pump to make sure it was running. Since I didn't have a GLASS jar on hand, I collected the fuel (an ethanol blend) in one of the on-board plastic cups. The pump worked, and the fuel set there for an hour or so. At the end of the day, I drained the fuel into my car's tank. After doing so, I noticed that something was wrong with the cup itself. The fuel had eaten up the plastic and turned the surface that it touched into this incredibly sticky film.... the car is still running, but....

Somebody needs to have a long talk with those knuckleheaded farmers....
