Nick,
Which would result in a loss of compression and possible damage to
the cylinders themselves (aside from the obvious damage to the pistons).
Correct? Hey, that sounded pretty good. I'm kinda proud....;-)))))
Other listers,
I got a rather small fuel filter the other day (the diameter is
about 1 inch and it's about 2 to 3 inches long). I did this on the
suggestoin of another lister, but now my question is: would the small size
of the filter affect the flow of gas to the pump? If size does affect the
flow, is mine too small? It was a cheapie, so if I can't use it I'm not
worried. Thanks everyone!
BTW, I was able to use the knowledge I've gained from this list to answer a
couple questions on my newsgroups tonight-quite an esteem builder
(particualry after the awful Prelim SAT I had to take today).
Good Luck with everyone's projects and a hundred thanks!
