Bill,
Please don’t pull a vacuum on your fuel system
with a vacuum cleaner. Think about what would happen to the fuel fumes as they
are sucked up the hose into the vacuum cleaner and pass the ELECTRIC MOTOR.
Don’t do it!

Thanks,
Steve.
That is what I expected
should happen. I sent an email to Andair a couple of days ago but no
response so far. I was asking them for ways to test the check valves in
place. They are not the easiest thing to access to remove. I plan to
try to test them today. Probably a vacuum cleaner with the fuel caps
off?? I want to be careful about pressurizing the tanks. That is why
I hoped to hear from Andair…
