Sure! The oil falling on the hot manifolds fumigates for mosquitoes!

locks;  just  drive your car until it is hot then get out and walk away. The 
hot fuel  vaporizes in the gas line and voila: vapor lock keeps your car from 
being  driven away. Such a great security feature and you don't even need to 
remember  to push a silly button!
