[DML] Re: Fuel Distributor ect

["seanhagan" <seanhagan@xxxxxxxxx>]

OK, so how do I clean the fuel distributor (yes take it off, replace 
the hoses (those are relatively cheap)... How about getting any rust 
off of the bolts with the holes in them?

What solvent do I use for the hoses? Any reason that I cannot use 
standard fuel hoses that you can buy at a place like Checker? 
Cutting them to length should suffice...

How about the warm up regulator?

Already cleaned out the tank (ie wiped her out) replaced the pump, 
boot, cover, fuel filter... which is where i found some rust in the 
bolt that has holes in it.
