Re: [T3] 2-step starting

<x-flowed>JimA=> There would be no tendency for fuel to move backwards
=> (toward the tank) because there are already 2 valves, in series,
=> in the pump which prevent flow in this direction.

As I understand it, this feature was not in the early pumps, and the 
fuel-line antisiphon valve was used first. That proved problematic, and 
VW added the feature to the pump itself. This was talked over 
extensively some years ago on the 34 list, which has more early 
('62-'65) cars. I've never owned a fuel-line valve car, so I have no 
direct experience to confirm anything.

We were talking about losing fuel from the carbs before: where do you 
think the fuel would go?
