That's beginning to make sense - the Beetle and Bus tanks are potentially higher
up, so the pump wouldn't have to 'suck' as hard.  The Type 3 tank is lower (on
standard Beetles anyway) and about a foot further away.  On a downslope there
would be greater suction needed for the Type 3.
Certainly 1600 Type 2 buses, with their greater fuel demand than Type 3s, use
the Type 1 pump.
Well thought through, Jeff.

That could explain a difference between the spring arrangement - now why the
different pressures?
