DAvid,
I am not really very familiar with the air pump set up but I assume that it
just injects air into the exhaust. Some claim that this extra oxygen burns
up excess fuel and renders some pollutants harmless - but I wonder! The
original trick was to dilute the percentage of pollutants NOT decrease
them. This because of warped govt thinking confused bulk with
percentage! But injected air can suck exhaust out of cylinders but again
- I wonder. Are there any reliable test results available.
