That's only 2.44% of a gallon, or more accurately, 3.264 fluid ounces.........just over 1/4 the volume of a Coke can. You're probably worrying about a problem that really doesn't exist. DD

Docs did a fluorcentisis on me yesterday morning and siphoned 1620 ml of fluid .out of my chest, that's more than 1 1/2 litres. 1/4 of a coke can ain't much to fuss about. Make up one of those pumps with the bowl on top and notice how it keeps prime! What you got to lose? Hard starting after sitting a while for one thing. I bet every '53 '54 Ford and Mercury truck of any size came equipped with one in Canada. I was also hard to start when overfull, but I feel 300% better today.
