Re: [DML] Fuel system Help

I bought a car like this.
You will have to clean out the fuel system first.
Drain the gas, and then get acetone and wipe out the fuel tank.
The boot around the fuel pump is most certainly ruined and will be like tar. 
Replace it. If the car has been started while in this condition, you will 
most likely have to replace the fuel pump, the accumulator, and the fuel 
filter. If you are extremely unlucky, you will have to work on the fuel 
injection system.
