(...) I'll soon post photos of the double pump I designed based on the single cylinder one on Mike?'s site. It has a smoother power stroke when the tank fills up.

Hey! go easy on the guy, the FM transmitter can't be all that big, and probably can't go any further that 20 meters. For DJA: Usually they transmit arou 87.0-88.9, FM radio stations only go to 89.0 as low as possible, so just tuning the radio to the (...) (26 years ago, 18-Oct-98, to lugnet.build)
