Well for what it,s worth I would like to make a comment addressed to everyone about ......FIRES and destroyed cars...After doing some reading on 914 world, and other places it seems to be an unfortunate occurance, too often, that an otherwise beautiful car, just burns to the ground,into a virtural pile of unsalvagable parts.a crispy critter. I would like to recommend that the FIRST PROJECT YOU DO NEXT...is to throughly check every part on your fuel and fuel delivery system to ensure that there are zero leaks,and tight fittings,with new, er,ish, good fuel lines.Do not neglict the gas tank,or fuel pump, and filters..suspect everything, assume nothing... jump in and make your suggestions,and recommendations or comment.

I will second this. My lines on my l-jet car looked ok on first inspection but once you move them and clean them up 100% you can see small cracks. Not good, that is a line that is too few heat cycles and vibration cycles from failing when it is that dry. I am actually not driving my car until the rubber lines I have are installed and I have a small fire extinguisher to keep in it. The line routing on my Type IV is retarded to begin with, they run the fuel line across the engine tin and all over. The cold start injector feed bugs me. I think my cold start injector does not even work. |
