34 Petrol Pump issue resolved

[JR48]

A few weeks back I posted about my close shave with gas pumping out of my carburettor and the subsequent fire risk. As per suggestions I had the petrol pump pressure tested, it was a whopping 6 psi! After looking at all the options I've had a Malapassi Petrol King installed and the pump is now running just over 2 1/2 psi. I've lost a few points original-wise but am now very confident that my car is not going to go up in a sheet of flame! I think the installation is quite neat and not too disruptive of an otherwise pretty stock engine compartment. The copper tubing is not for steam, but for the Columbia two-speed! I've posted a picture of the installation.

Its easy to adjust the pump pressure inside the pump itself, it is governed by the spring under the diaphragm,let me know if you want the spring details.(length lbs force etc.)
