Refueling process pointing to wrong end of tank.

[Edward Keenan]

This issue is caused by the unnecessary change in the negative/positive value in match.IntakePoint.OffsetM. This was already done by time this was processed in GetDistanceToM(). I should have a fix for this shortly.

Turns out that there is more to this. If the intake value in the engine file is negative, the point where it is processed is positive, but if the intake value is positive, it remains positive. This is why there is a problem with the refueling location.

The items below should show the inconsistent manner in how the source OffsetM value is treated.

The first 2 show the OffsetM value from a steam tender. Note that when using the -match, the position would be correct since under OR, the rear of the car is represented with a positive value.

Information: The value of OffsetM applying -match.IntakePoint.OffsetM is: 3.2 (Source is -3.2)

Information: The value of OffsetM applying match.IntakePoint.OffsetM is: -3.2

The next 2 which shows the issue is from a diesel locomotive. The source OffsetM is a positive value which means under OR, it should be negative since this would represent the front portion of a wagon. You would think that using the -match would correct this properly, but in this case it does not. You will notice that the +match creates the proper OffsetM conversion.

Information: The value of OffsetM applying -match.IntakePoint.OffsetM is: 3.33 (Source is 3.33)

Information: The value of OffsetM applying match.IntakePoint.OffsetM is: -3.33

The -match is currently used in the code.

Found out what was causing the above issue. Fix will be submitted once I finish testing.
