Mmmm.....just from staring at that particular assembly for a long time
one day, and then seeing it called a "damper" somewhere, i made the
assumption that it is just that...(doh!:)
It softens teh phtphptphtpht of the fuel pump, into a more controled
stream, so that the pulses aren't pulsing against the injectors.....hey!
it sounds good!:)
as for taking one apart....well, i just might do that...:)
if no one decides they want it, i'll be sure to put it on my projet
shelf...:)
later.....david....
