[Spridgets] Odd Fuel Pump situation

[Mike/Donna Carpenter]

Thanks all for all of your help.  Couldn't make it without youins'.

Can any of you all tell me whether the old "blue top" AC electric pumps were the proper pressure for our LBCs?

I will have to control myself next winter and Spring!  Just run her the way she is ;^).
