Fuel Tap Strainer
Matt_Harrington:
OK, 1st post ;)
Pondering why not much fuel is getting to the carbs necessitated the removal of the fuel tap only to find this mess.
Can I assume this is because of ethanol in the fuel? Anyone know if the replacement kits for the strainer have ethanol proof rubber seals etc?
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
DS do a strainer kit I fitted one to my 400 but retained the original tap seal as I think they can't replicate it as one seal ring so there are two.
Oddjob:
Has the tank been lined?

How long ago did you fit the kit? Just wondering if it is standing up to the ravages of ethanol...

No, not lined and fairly rust free - the black 'gunge' is the remains of the strainer washer that once had two holes!
