Default RE: Perry Pumps and regulators

The vent should not be connected to exhause when using the pressure pump. The tank should be vented to atmosphere. They will work that way but it is hard on the pump.

It can/will cause the regulator to shut off the pump, and your engine will quit. Usually at a bad time.
No it works fine that way, but when I did this the pump lasted a year and ruptured the diaphram.
