If you calculate what the force is on the area of the float valve, I think you get an incredibly small number, so I've always wondered why this should matter at all. While it certainly will make the float ride higher in the bowl, I have a hard time believing that it should be measurable. Can anyone shed any light on this? - Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ------------------------------------------------------------------- Search old messages on the Web!
