My french is not great but does 'essence de puissence' have a double meaning here? I know essence by itself can mean gasoline, but it also means as we know it in english, as the innate nature or meaning of something.
So is it the 'essence of power' or the 'gasoline of power' or both? If both, very sophisticated advertisement.

Both works for it, but I think it could be more "gasoline of power"
by the way, I have the flange sign on the left, I love seeing the signs I have on original locations were they were used for.
