Smitty Says; Last time I mentioned that subject I got an indignant "I do
that all the time" from one of our members. That still doesn't make it
right. The normal stroke of a fuel pump is .037 inches. Any stroking
beyond that is very apt to damage the diaphragm. I am sure there will be
those who doubt my words. I say to you, get out your dial mike and
measure the stroke before you reply.
