Subject: Fuel line cleaning
Hello to all fellow listers,
After my last run ing the MGB, the fuel lines became clogged.
When the hose was removed from the carb, fuel just barely come out,
and the SU pump was rattling and making quite a racket. In the event
that the pump is good, what is the best method to clear my fuel lines
of debris? I can guess that the debris is simply rust from a lousy
tank. Would it be advisable to disconnect each end of the fuel line
and use an air compressor to blow the hoses clear? Any advice would
be greatly appreciated, as I want to run the car around when I get
home. Thanks to all -
Mike
