Recheck Specifications
1. When a PT (type G) fuel pump is calibrated on one
test stand and rechecked on another test stand, the calibration
values may vary. This can occur because test stands are not
exactly alike, due to manufacturing tolerances, gauge
tolerances, test oil viscosity variations, etc.
2. This variance can also occur with a pump is adjusted
on the engine and then checked on a test stand.
