The results of the TR Register project green should appear in the next issue of
TRaction. There is a fuel additive sold in the UK called a Broquet Catalyst
which seems to have elicited good reports on the use of unleaded fuel in leaded
motors. It consists of a wire cage (sausage shaped) which is placed in the
fuel tank. Just what it contains I know not. It was apparently developed to
allow WW2 fighters such as Spitfires to operate in Russian winters.. Anyone
tried it out there?
When I first ran my exUS TR6 it suffered a severe fuel starvation I found that
some PO had replaced the Lucas (bless his cotton socks) fuel pump with a wierd
Italian one, I replaced that with a Facet. Would that qualify as a bodge?
What have yu guys got against epoxy anyway?
