                     • Electric liquid propane pump
                     • Submerged in tank
                     • Boosts pressure 50-60 psi                                                           Lesson 3.14

                     • Continually circulates when energized to avoid
                      vapor build up
                     • Equipped with sock filter
                                  CAUTION: the system must be defueled or depressurized
                                           prior to performing any work
