The pump ,assembly a"4 compression chambers and the charging of one compression chamber starts when sumclent spring `pressure is. built up to 'move thediaphragm to pair of compression springs and 2l surrounding spacer rod I1 to exert an outward pressure sumciently to seal the diaphragme Il `and II against leakage between the backing washers 22 and 23, respectively.

An adjustable relief'valve indicated at ll is seated in a passageway between the inlet chamber .44 and-outlet chamber 45 by means oi'v a spring compressed between thevalve and a hol" lowA plug- 34 threadedly received in passageway I2"` for varying the pressure applied to ball check I3 wherebythe fluid' pressure in outlet chamber 4ll and compression chambers 21 and 2l maybe limited.
