Found my new toy did have sugar dumped in the gas tank
I'm going to pull it out after work and flush it as best as I can but want a little extra insurance.

I'm basicly looking for an inline filter clear would be nice that will stop any leftovers from getting up into the carb, this carb it a PITA to take apart. Thats a job I dont want to do again.

Thanks!

 

what ever you do do not get a mr gasket one they blow up and cause engine fires trust me happened two days ago

 

Is it carbed or EFI?

 

read it again you might answe ryour own question

 

Ooops...

Go to the parts store and get a WIX transparent filter. Ive had them on my trucks for years. My carburetor bowls have stayed perfectly clean. Im unsure of the part number, but any person at the parts store should know what you are talking about.

 

you cant filter out suger.
it dissolves into gas.

 

Three words, Locking Gas Cap. Just for next time, so some jerk won't be able to do this to you.

 

And leaves a nice glaze on the cylinder walls. Previous supervisor had about a five pound bag put in the tank of his duster. Someone later put a box of salt in as well. It wasn't me that was the cu;prit although I had as good a reason as anyone else to do it. Besides, I was out of the country when It happened. Gasgzlr has good advice about the locking gas cap.

 

scrub it REAL good

 

Been realy busy latelty so a quick update.

Still havent pulled the tank, I did sample 20oz of fuel and it seemed fine but I'm going to pull the tank anyway to make sure.

All the tanks Ive pulled that had sugar in them usually have big peices that have clumped togather so I hope that what happend here or theres nothing left in the tank.

The real funny part is this car has a locking access door the requires the ignition key to open so I'm thinking inside job or they just dumped it down the carb. It did eat the no.3 exhaust valve but thats cured now.
