The Vacuum Tank
To: Pete Welzbacker and others:
Thanks for your responses. I have not yet received my WTN but I only
joined a couple of weeks ago. Anyhow, the e mail address in HET club
members' e mail list (online version) does not work for you, Pete.
The first letter in the truncated e mail address that comes up in
here was different from the old one for you so I can surmise that you
have changed ISPs. Anyhow, I will post my address below and will
greatly appreciate any information you can copy and send me.
I am sure that the float is OK, the flipper and springs seem OK, I
think the thing is vacuum tight but I do have suspicion about either
the valving (2 of them) controlled by the flipper and the almost
necessary check valve that MUST exist between the top compartment of
the tank and the bottom part to prevent sucking the feed line from
tank to carburetor dry. My guess is that the check valve is not
working (assuming there is a check valve) OR that the vent valve
operated by the flipper is not working correctly. The vacuum valve
operated by the flipper seems to be OK but I have not 100% figured
out the purpose of the other valve that seems to vent the top chamber
either to the atmosphere or to the lower/outer tank. A blowup would
be useful.
My address at work is:
Tom Goodman
c/o ILSI
4750 Edison Avenue
Colorado Springs, CO 80915
my e mail is tgood70779 @ A O L. com (leave out the extra spaces)
Thanks for your response and advice...Also thanks to the others of
you who responded. If I could ever lay my hands on some service
information (planning a trip to the Bermuda Triangle soon), I might
not have to ask such stupid questions.
