[Tigers] Fuel Pump Pressures

[genepadgett at comcast.net]

Just adding my agreement with Ron on the isolator strip. The one on my car was actually a formed piece with a grove for the clamp band. Or maybe it just wore into such a shape over the 25 or so years the pump was in there! 

I am remembering a brief moment of panic when I installed a new pump a couple of years ago. Those sealing washers in the line connection at the inlet and outlet. They were a thick fiber washer. Unfortunately, I had no idea where to find replacements, there were none in the pump box (bought from SS). Fortunately I was able to reuse them with no leaks. I am wondering if those mystery 1/2 inch "O" rings in the kit are intended as replacements for those fiber washers? Just a thought...

I seem to remember a rubber isolator strip that wrapped around the 
curved mounting bracket and held the pump well.

Thanks. To be clear, my comments below on finding psi were for the Tiger SU 
and about people posting to this list in the archives. 

My SU is mounted in the stock location. 

I did find it odd though the number of layers of rubber that were wrapped 
around the pump to fit in the round clamp holding the pump. What is 
supposed to be there?
