You could test one off the van with a couple of buckets and a 12 volt
source. I think the Bentley has a procedure for testing flow rate. Maybe
with a pressure gauge on the plugged outflow you could get that reading too.
I've heard that running kerosene through them and sealing them up in bags is
a good way to store them.
