Finally cleaned TeaBag

[grog]

External filter a better option. IMO.

Agree Grog on my list

Been looking for some bloody wire to do that 'mod' to guard against future issues in that area. No idea what to ask for or where.
Couldn't find it in an automotive shop but didn't ask....


So where does the external filter actually go?

[Andre]

For the fuel regulator clip mod I used Stainless Steel wire 0.50 mm for jewelry. Got it through amazon.

So where does the external filter actually go?

A simple aluminium bracket & the filter attached with a cable tie. 

For wire I used stainless MIG wire which you'll get from any welder doing stainless.

Thanks for posting Snapey, saved me doing. I clean mine whenever, not getting real dirty but easy clean. Been a great mod. fuel pump sounds less stressed, motor revs perfectly. No idea why anyone stuffs about cleaning that stupid in tank high pressure.

[VladTepes]

Very tidy Snapey, very tidy !

I guess I ought to be a bit more specific - where does the filter go in relation to the fuel hoses - which line is cut to fit the filter? Is an extension required?

[Andre]

No idea why anyone stuffs about cleaning that stupid in tank high pressure.

Mostly, but not exclusively, because the filters that will fit are 30 micron. Fuel injectors need 10 micron filters.

[grog]

So i guess Andre my injectors will block up or wear out. One day ill have to deal with that. As long as its not soon, no problem.

[Andre]

Grog, everyone as they wish. But you should now have an idea why some of us "stuff about cleaning that stupid in tank high pressure"

Ok well I did the whole shebang today just because I could, took all day  - a story I'll tell later.

Anyway herr I am with it reassembled, running and (for the first time ever) the flashing "FI"   

Now what ?

[Andre]

FI what code?

[VladTepes]

About to go check that.  If it comes up as C33 (injector 2), or any injector for that matter, I'll be simultaneously unsurprised and frustrated.
