Pronunciation of "Diesel"
How do you pronounce diesel? Several people have found it funny how I say it. Where do you fit in at?

Here on post, it's pronounced JP-8. We've got either MOGAS or JP-8, no diesel.

I normally pronounce it dee-sul...but I hear dee-zul all the time so that seems pretty normal to me. For the few people who pronounce it die-sul...something is wrong with you.
