Will the dirt & corrosion be spat out in this circumstance? Safe to say I should pump 
from/to a jug of gas with a filter before the pump inlet in order to avoid recycling the 
debris right back into the pump?

Hmmm, something to consider.. will this mess with the pressure in the lines? By that I 
mean, will the pressure regulator still do it's job well?

Maybe raising the pressure to the injectors would be a cheap performance mod?  (kidding..)


Thanks Jim!
