Well I got the vacuum fuel canister apart. It appears to be in pretty good shape. There is one pin hole in the bottom of the exterior canister but that is easy to repair. I did break the sediment bowl trying to remove it. The casting just disintegrated. O! well no pain no gain. The device cleaned up real well especially after sitting in the parts washer for a couple of days. It will be fun getting this old technology working again. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Keep us posted Chet. I have the one that came in my car but it was disconnected and replaced with an electric pump. I'd like to get it working again eventually.
