Ypu and i was there! As a matter of fact it was I who supplied the diesel 
if I recall correctly. I bought a 5 gal plastic gas can for $1.50 at the 
flea market at the Findlay show. There were about 2 gal's. of diesel in the 
can (that's back when diesel was only $1.50 per gal.--but still a good 
deal.) Anyway Leroy poured the diesel into his "M" and it ran just fine for 
the rest of the show. Such is life in the "low rent district!"

PS, What Leroy has not told anyone to this day is that he eventually tried 
to run the M on Old Mill. THAT didn't work so well!
