While attempting to get the pug (106, 1.1) out of the snow this morning I noticed that some of the snow left behind was yellow. Thought it might have been a cat but the more I moved the more yellow there was. Is there a fluid that colour in there somewhere?? Haven't tasted it!

I'm chasing a rough running problem on a BMW 318i and have a really simple question for anybody who knows. Does an electric fuel pump run continuously and bleed fuel back to the tank or does it stop pumping when it gets up to pressure. I'm assuming it will
