We went thorugh this about a year ago when Keith Park sent me one 
that had rusted through.  I cut it open and found that it was 
completely empty.  No screen or any kind of damping material.  The 
walls are stiff enough that the rubber hose will do much more for 
damping than this steel cylinder.  Plus, you're right on the money 
about the roller pump's lack of pulses.

Most other D-Jetronic cars don't have them.
