Bonjour,

Jim, beautiful setting indeed. I have also bought one thinking I could use it as boiler feed pump but Jin advised me it would not be able to manage a 20 - 40 PSI pressure so it is currently sleeping on a shelf  :(

That is disappointing to hear Raphael, as that is exactly the application that I was hoping to use my P71 for!

I wonder if they could be rebuilt with better seals, to achieve a 40+ psi standard?

Oh yeah, and that is one Eye Popingly beautiful build you've done there Jim!!!
