Powered minecart - getting/setting the remaining fuel/power

I have a simple question: how would i determine how much fuel is left in a powered minecart? any help would be great, currently searching the apidocs ^.^

 

Get the itemstack in the furnace (I think there's a method for that), then get the burning time for that material (probably stored in a HashMap) and multiply it by the amount.

 

thats the problem, it doesnt seem to have an inventory, or any method like that.

here, look at this: http://jd.bukkit.org/dev/apidocs/

oops, nevermind. theres no way to link to a specific point within the apidocs.

maby if i cast it to a chestMinecart..? hmm.

getting a classcastexception. poop.

Necrobump, but I have an answer that works for CraftBukkit 1.6.x.

Nice! This would've been great like 8 months ago!

But seriously, I don't understand why people decide it's okay to bump these old threads.
