<VV> 1967 Corvair Monza fuel pump

 A sample of 3 isn't a very large sample size. Many of us, including myself, have had oil dilution due to leaky diaphragms.

I'm presently running three Corvairs, all with mechanical fuel pumps, and 

have never had one leak fuel into the oil.  What's the problem?
