[Diy_efi] Dumb newbie tricks. . .

[J Creech]

Generally, if you apply reverse-power to an electrolytic cap, it's trash. Sometimes they'll work
afterwards, but they're livin' on borrowed time. If you were the *first* person to do something like
this, I might laugh at you...........

At least they're cheap.
