chamber to cushion the pulsating action inherent to the diaphragm-type pump.
(10) An oil seal is provided to keep crankcase oil from entering the
lower chamber and leaking from the venthole.
d. Mechanical, Positive Type.
The positive-type mechanical pump
operates in the same manner as the nonpositive-type. The difference is that
the diaphragm pull rod is solidly linked to the rocker arm.
The pump,
therefore, will not regulate fuel line pressure. When this type of pump is

e. Double Action Fuel Pump (figure 5).
Vehicles that use vacuum-

the fuel pump.
The pump serves to operate the windshield wipers during
periods of high engine load when the
