OK, that wouldn't have made much sense without this bit that I
accidently edited out...
The following comes from my OTHER list and describes changing the
"filtering media" in the fuel injection system of a Rover V8. My
Rover's fuel injection is playing up - but after reading this my
thoughts hovered somewhere around - maybe the SUs in my 'B are an easier
way out!
;-)
------
Injectors were overhauled using less than a tenner's worth of filters and
pintle caps from "Burlen Fuel Systems". Ensuring scrupulous cleanliness, I
cut off the swaged hose collar at a sharp angle using suitable snips,
discarded the old fuel hose, extracted the filter with a small "easy-out",
cut off the pintle caps and washed everything with panel-wipe, blow drying
and cleaning with an airline. New caps and filters were pressed in place in
a vice using hard- wood protectors with a small hole preventing pintle
damage. Each injector was tested on a hose containing an ounce or two of
panel wipe under 30 lbs pressure from an airline, pulsing the coil with
a 3 volt (not 12 volt) power supply and observing an orderly conical spray
pattern with no dribbling. New hose lengths were coupled using neat fuel
hose clips from Burlen, then assembled to the fuel rail whose various other
hoses were all supplanted using the same clips"

But I thought some of you with V8s in your MGs might appreciate this -
it came with a link to Burlen in the UK:
