    Safe method to loose Fuel Line threading?

    in Thailand Motor Discussion

    Posted

    You will have to heat the flare nut. Years of exposure to road dirt has packed the space between the inside of the flare nut and the steel tubing with fine sediment. Remove the in tank fuel pump assembly, blow dry it and Blow the fuel line clear of fuel first. No danger of explosion as it is not in a confined space, but keep a fire extinguisher close by. Heat flare nut, let cool, WD40 the threads while in a vertical position, allow to penetrate, flare nut wrench, open end wrench and a quick smack and you are done. When reassembled, pack the space with silicone to stop crud getting in, coat threads with NeverSeez and it will come off easy next time.

    I always use 95 in my Forza, how can I tell the difference between gasahol and benzine? If gasahol is crap, then I don't want to be using it.

    Old Wives Tale. From when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Kept my Dyna in a steel box for almost 7 years, filled with 95 gasahol and Stabil. Drained, refilled, install new battery - Zoom. No Gum, No sludge, no hoses degraded. No worries

    In my experience - regarding safety - the lower priced helmets protect just as well as the premium brands. Tesco/Big C brands not included. The premium brands give you a nicer finish, and often better materials. So long as it passes DOT/Snell/ECE good to go. Used HJC for years, no regrets. But noisy and no where near as nice as a premium helmet - at 3 or 4 times the price mind you.

    Engine bay cleaning – any ideas please ?

    Rinse with garden hose with nozzle set to a wide weak stream. Use a spray bottle filled with a mild detergent, spray the surface. Give it a couple of minutes to work. Rinse off with the same wide weak stream. Engine compartments designed to be splashed a little, not to be attacked with a narrow high velocity stream of water from a pressure washer. Any areas after the above that are oil covered need to be brushed/wiped with a rag and a stronger concentration of the mild detergent. I use the cheapest car wash soap I buy from Macro. Auto Master car shampoo in a 5 litre bottle. Never use a pressure washer on any of my cars or bikes. Too easy to force water where you do not want it - like the links in the drive chain or any electrical connection.

    We can assure you that our technical specialists, as well as independent experts such as DEKRA, concur that the cars remain completely safe to drive.

    I understand and agree that I have been fully informed by my Retailer that my car registration: [left blank]    may experience a characteristic known as “tyre skipping”.

     

    Does this car have some sort of diff lock i.e. Positraction ?  If so, in a turn, the outside tire must travel further than the inside tire, making the inside tire 'skip' The diff tries to make both wheels turn at the same speed - in a tight turn this can not happen due to the different radius that each wheel travels
