the reason being is that in some cases, for various reasons, raw gasoline
will settle in the vacuum side of the diaphragm and when you suck on the
unit, you can get a mouthful of gas. And that ain't good for your health!

I know that I have tasted my share of gas over the years but have
experienced no negative effects except maybe my preference for LBC's

The last 9 words say it all!!!
Seriously, ingestion of raw gasoline into the lungs can be very serious. I
understand from some of my medically inclined friends it can cause permanent
damage to the lining and what-not of the lungs. (I'm not a medical type and
if the part ain't made by Lucas or MOWOG, I don't know beans about it). I'd
rather everyone went to a bit of inconvience than do themselves an injury. I
have a selfish reason for it: There ain't enough of us LBCers now. I prefer
keeping the ones we got.
