Bob,

At first glance I thought the installation looked very good.

I then thought about it and said to myself; "Hey, wait a minute; that's
doesn't seem to be a good place to put the tank, it's just behind the front
bumper! If Bob crashes into anything it will break and he'll loose the
vacuum and brakes."

I thought about it for a few more seconds and realized that loosing the
vacuum and brakes AFTER you crashed into something wouldn't matter! DUH!

Thought you would get a laugh out of this!

Regards,

""For a while, some years back, I made vacuum tanks like you describe to
sell
at rallies.""

Here's a link to my installation:

http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showgallery.php?cat=3384

It gives me at least 6 pumps even when sitting for months. However when we
first started discussing these, we found that many boosters "consumed"
vacuum not only while depressing the pedal, but also while holding the pedal
down. There were some indications that the sensitized boosters were
especially suspect. A good booster should only use vacuum during pedal
depression--not when static whether up or down.
