Razor, i'll check as suggested, but I have to say that the car had been in regular use and i'd been using lots of boost and topping up frequently. At that point I thought I was getting through too much. Having left it for longer it there is clearly a problem.
Is there a rebuild kit for the pump? Being over here in the UK I need to plan ahead!
Pure methanol from a local chemical supplier. I can check the label for the exact details if you like.
Julio,
What about using a commercially available Leak dye for Cooling systems to trace leaks. Would it harm the pump.
OK guys, here is what I found today.
Put the car on the drive and looked under the pump. Alky is pouring out from the lower part of the pump;the black plastic section.
Razor, you mentioned that alky and gas/petroleum don't mix.
I'm pretty sure I picked up a gallon of gas for a car I was selling. Although i used all the gas it could be that any residue left in the can mixed with the alky and shot the seals. Just being honest.
Is there a a seal kit I can buy to put this right?
Thanks.
