>Regarding the EMD / Winton fuel injector; is this considered a 'unit injector' ??? Is this a type of injector that pressurizes the fuel only @ the point of injection itself ???
Yes
>I was also told, by the electrician who re - wired my parents' house, that the different rates of expansion & contraction with aluminum wire vs. copper, would actually cause the wire to work loose from the screws in outlets & fixtures over time.
Yes, this is is also a factor.
>I do know there are 110 / 220 volt fixtures approved specifically for use with aluminum wire, and most have specific warnings against use with aluminum wire. That being said, should I be concerned that the main feed cables to my house electrical panel are aluminum ???
It might be a good idea to have them inspected by a knowlegeable electrician every once and a while.
