[T3] Fuel Pump

[Gary Forsmo]

*I know the re-build that Jim did on my fuel Pump was absolutely necessary.

Because the T3 had been stored 9+ years,  the "pressure relief valve" (did I
use the correct term?") had deteriorated to the point that the pressure side
of the pump was not able to move the full capacity of fuel that it was
intended or designed to do.  Much of the fuel was going out the PRV.  How
much is uncertain.  But the rebuild, fixed that.

Even after I calculated the volume of fuel, I was not sure that 1/5th
gal/minute was sufficient to deliver to the fuel ring/injectors and have
enough excess to return fuel to the tank.

I have found no specs regarding the quantity of fuel that a FP should deliver.
That is why I asked the question.  I was hoping that you guys, some of whom
have 40+ years of experience, would be able to verify my test findings.

Anybody?

Gary
