Actually, no -- in fact I have to make some corrections to the charts that I
sent out. I measured the bucket, and found that 5 gallons is to in internal
line inside the bucket, and that with the way I did it, it is about 5.8
gallons.  That increases the flow rate somewhat.

Also, I have been giving the pressure drop through the hose going back to the
barrel and the hose from the barrel to the pump some thought. I think I can
correct the curves for these pressure drops.  Will forward a corrected curve
when I work out the details.

Bill are you pumping through the engine block? It would be nice to know
the pressure drop in the block.
