Ken,

When I first got my coach, I rebuilt my Dana pump using the same kit you
used, and it still did a poor job of filling that big Power Level tank. The
roads here are neither flat nor straight, and my bags draw air on long
sweeping turns. My pump runs a lot more than yours, and the Viair pump
works a lot more quickly.

Doesn’t the EL-I in your ‘76 use a small tank?
