[T3] fuel pump test

["David" <rdavid@rochester.rr.com>]

Hey All, I just purchased a used T3 fuel pump. I attached 3 hoses to it,
primed it, set the 3 hoses into kerosene and added 12V....bingo!
It took about 3 seconds for the pump to flow out thru the center barb, but
now it pumps kerosene correctly every start-up attempt.
I own a pressure gauge that I used to check my fuel pressure on my T3. If I
attach this gauge directly to the center barb on the used pump, is this a
correct test to see if this pump builds correct pressure?
What pressure readings should I be looking for hooked up directly like this?
Also, what is the best way to store this used pump so that it stays "ready
to go" if need be?
