Did some testing of the fuel pump in my 1.9 this morning in search of
the cause of a problem (see thread "Start/Stop Syndrome Returns"). There
was good news and ??? news.

Fuel Pump Delivery Rate test (Bentley 20.19):

Minimum volume in 30 seconds spec: 500mL, measured: 750mL PASS

Fuel Pressure Regulator test (Bentley 24.25):

With vacuum hose (2) connected spec: approx 2.0 bar, measured: 2.2 bar PASS
With vacuum hose (2) DISconnected spec: approx 2.5 bar, measured: 2.2
bar HUH?

The pressure did not change with the vacuum hose connected or disconnected.
