1930Vacuum Tank Blues

Posted by Eugene Wescott On 2010/5/24 10:39:06

Greetings All,

My vacuum tank may be starting to fail and am wondering if anyone has found someone who can rebuild them or if anyone has tried using an electric fuel pump to push the gas into the vacuum tank.

Would the vacuum tank if it is working draw the fuel through the pump when off, as the electric one on my '56 does, or would the pump have to be on all the time and will this cause the tank to overfill and possibly flood the carb.

Thanks
Gene
