<VV> Re: Fuel Pumps and Valves

Smitty says:  Being the kind of person who can't let anything fail
without at least trying to see why it failed, I have taken dozens of
pumps apart in the past.  As stated, most failures were result of failed
diaphragms.  A good many though were valves falling out or more commonly
the little disc in the valve disintegrates.  I have salvaged many
thousands of miles from pumps that would have been junk otherwise by
switching valves from other useless pumps.
