Re: [DMCForum] Re: fuel system clean out...



That's what I did but I used probably a gallon to gallon and half of
berryman and had 3 filters in the lines that I continually cleaned out.
Yet
I still have crud floating in my lines somewhere, probably the accumulator
since it is the only part I have not replaced or opened up.  But when I
opened my tank I only recovered a small portion of the fuel pump and no
rubber lines at all.  And I had to scrape the varnish off the walls of the
tank.

Oh and I didn't use the car's pump I used a cheap electric one that didn't
matter if it got destroyed.
