Problem Solving.
The most common problems affecting TR6s these days is their low usage and the periods that they spend in storage. Even in dry garages the inside of the fuel tank may corrode, shedding fine iron sediment as soon as the car is moved. Once corrosion has started it may be more expensive to cure/eradicate than the cost of a new tanks.
If a problem is suspected, the tank may have to be flushed by filling and draining several times. Another common ailment is caused by water, which will sit at the bottom of the tank, under the fuel, and cause corrosion. This may actually get as far as the engine when it will cause havoc to a metering unit or injector.
The P.I. system may need pressure checking at several points to identify a problem. The PRV should 'blow' at 105 - 110 psi, and there should be over 90 psi at the metering unit outlets. Injectors pop at 45 - 55 psi. Rebuilt injectors are tested to perform within this pressure window, and spray an even cone of fuel.

Fuel Pipe Kit

96. Fuel Pipe Kit (early) - (1) - RR1171

Includes supply and return copper pipes only. Does not include rubber connections for the supply pipes to the injectors.

Consumables

97. Cleaner (fuel tank, biodegradable) - (ar) - MM220-620

1 US Gallon.

This is an industrial strength fuel tank cleaner that allows you to clean out your car's petrol tank yourself.

We recommend using this cleaner in conjunction with our etching liquid when planning to seal a tank.

98. Etching Liquid (fuel tank) - (ar) - MM220-630

16oz.

Use this biodegradable etcher as a prep to our slushing compound to give maximum adhesion of the sealer.

Our tank cleaner should be used first to remove oils and grime.

99. Slushing Compound (fuel tank) - (ar) - MM220-450

US quart.

This tacky fluid sticks to the inner walls of the fuel tank and prevents rusting problems which normally lead to leaks.

It is even efficient at filling minor rust holes and leaking seams.

Easy to use and long lasting. Ideal for renovating older tanks, or prior to installing replacements.

100. Lead Substitute - (ar) - RX1407

Suitable for 'leaded' engines to use unleaded fuel.
