[Vwdiesel] Jet A

[decker at toledotel.com]

Hi Joe;
    It doesn't seem like it to me. I have probably 50,000 plus on the Dasher
since USLD but remember most all 1.5 and 1.6 engines are going to have old
pumps on them which are bound to leak sooner or later. I have been playing
with Rabbits for close to 20 years and if you resurrect a diesel that has
set for many years the pump may want to leak.
