@WaynePa posted:Yes, but any time you can get information wether you agree with it or not you can always learn something. To deny that is very closed minded.
I never said anything different, I merely am pointing out that this isn't something coming down the mountain on stone tablets. I seriously doubt most of the folks here would rate me as close minded.

A better question is, why don't they put a TVS in every engine and/or tender, because that's really where they'd be most effective! The answer is... ten cents, roughly the volume cost of a suitable TVS device.
