I suppose this is the "B" position on the shifter he is referring to.

Not sure what this has to do with the fuel pump.
I don't know how the engine brake could engage by itself, but I'm willing to believe that it happened. I'm not surprised he didn't know about the engine brake. He seemed surprised by his fuel economy even though he was getting just about the same as the reviews I've read.

Something seems odd though. Why would you drive hundreds of kilometers to buy a demo with no discount on a car you don't know much about? He's omitting something from the story.
