When I was about 18, a contractor hired me to watch a water pump over night at a bridge construction site to make sure it was kept full of gasoline and didn't stop for any reason. It was a large pump run by a 4 cyl. Continental engine. He left me with a kerosene lantern. Along about 2:00 AM, I thought I'd better check the gas. Now you got to remember, this gas tank is mounted over the engine similar to most older farm tractors and the engine has been running for hours keeping that gas all shook up.

That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi.
