Fangio and the 6.9

[Oversize]

Here’s some pix bridging the relay terminals to run the fuel pump with ignition on… Bridge the terminals 30 & 87a

And after 14 years the fuel tank saga is over & she’s running again!! I’m glad I flushed the hoses, pipes & fuel head before trying to restart cause lots of junk & stale fuel came out. Some of it might've been rust particles, or flaking dried fuel well after it turned into molasses… It would’ve wrecked the fuel head or blocked the injectors, or just ended up back in the tank to block the strainer or seize the pump again!! The procedure isn’t that hard but you must be prepared or you’ll get fuel everywhere. I was prepared for things to end badly with no less than 4 fire extinguishers & a bucket of water on standby!

For some reason it’s not recognising the video files on my iPhone so I can’t add videos of it running???
