Maybe. But Steve says it's "Been that way forever..." -- and I can see the installer reaching for a worn out piece of hose when he dropped the engine in.  It held up long enough for him to get it out of his shop. But, it's sure easy to just bypass the electric pump fuel lines for quick test up to 3K. Of course, he still has that pesky 9psi coming out of the mechanical pump. Unless his gauge is wrong. |
