That is what I had always thought, but since it is only a solid steel
box, with no real flex to the sides, it has no real capacity to
absorb pump pulses. Besides, the Bosch fuel pump is a roller pump,
and roller pumps don't create pressure pulses. Good old rubber hose
is pretty good at absorbing pressure pulses, too.
In the end, I am at a loss to explain what was on their minds, unless
there WAS something in there at one time.
Has anyone ever seen one of these on any other D-Jetronix car?
