Allen,
Note that if the interrupter style pump has a diaphragm, that could be a
weak point in the pump depending on what additives are in the fuel. This
may not apply to racing gas, but I had several failures in my street
TRiumph of diaphragm style interrupter pumps due to the oxygenated fuels
that are EPA mandated for our area. After some research, it was discovered
that the oxygenates were attacking the rubber diaphragm. Again, this may
not be an issue with racing gas, but it something to look into before you buy.
