Don't know what that is or why it'd be useful.

I have the HF special. No problems with the pump except when I sprayed some 
brake cleaning fluid into the unit. It caused the paint on the inside of the 
tank to peel off & clog the pump intake... 

I did find the switch for the pump was a POS. The switch just fell apart the 
second time I used it. I replaced it with a switch from the local electrical 
parts supply store - works fine ever since. 

Interestingly, I have seen a replacement switch listed in the HF catalog right 
next to the parts cleaner - makes me think they know its a POS...
