    Hey guys just wondering..... I suspect issues with my VRO (capped oil side) and it is a pre-1998. The fuel diaphram does NOT have the O-ring that they added in 1998. Were there some issues with the pump letting in air at that site? Can you just add the O-ring or are the housings different? (I...
