Guys has any one tried to make a fuel pump diaphragm from a piece of thin plastic? I use palmolive dish washing soap containers to store two cycle gas and mineral spirits. I know the plastic will hold up to those liquids. I was just thinking maybe it could be used in a fuel pump. It cuts easily with scissors and holes punch out good. I have seen metal diaphragms in snowmobiles way back when they started buzzing around. We need to come up with something that is flexible and will hold up to the fuels that we use. New old stock OMC diaphragms fail immediately when alcohol gas hits them. Any thoughts on this line!
