No, and 7 psi is not even 0.5 bar. But (1) I wonder how Ed put the nipple into the underside of the shaft housing and (2) how he got the left-hand crankshaft. On the Veco 45, there is no such swelling in the cast part like on my OS 19. I think Ed did it himself in his machine shop, and for him it was easier to make a new crankshaft than a left-hand propeller. (3) Did you read the paragraph about Ed making Nylon parts in the interview I posted the link to?
BTW, (4)I wonder if the ribs in the baby bottle were really able to stand the pressure. (5)Why not simply a round bottle, or even a bubble tank?
I count 5 questions?
And when I read the last question and the post of the Ed Kazmirski's Taurus:

Another thing: Now we know that Taurus had a clunk tank (remark in the plan) and the pusher had a pressurized fuel system (which was simply needed there), I have a question. I know how the pressure was bled off the crankcase (with a simple nipple in the crankcase below the carburetor, or from the backplate but with a check valve required). But what is a "Walker regulator"?
Than it's clear I did start my own thead; Redesign and reconstruction of the Oldest Taurus on Earth, because you are running round in circles.
