Reminder clean your w/m system

[ViRtUaLheretic]

I cleaned part of my w/m system and figured I would take the rest apart and clean all of that last night. WOAH BABY were the inside of some of the lines dirty.
One of the lines after the distribution block was clogged up like the arteries of an obese Mcdonalds junky.
Car should run much better now.
I think I am going to order an in line AN filter to add to my kit to filter out some of the junk before the check valve.

I find the screens at the nozzle get gummed up over time.

This. Also, how are you cleaning the lines?

Also did you use the do bulkhead fitting with the screen in it? And what type of water do you use?

I mix my own fluid, distilled water and methanol

Most of the gunk in the lines was from the red RTV form a gasket I used to seal up stuff (w/m pump hole I cut in WW tank to add bulkhead fitting) and some corrosion from the NPT fittings I used to install the USRT w/m pressure gauge.

I cleaned the lines with carb cleaner and wd40 (the wd40 straw fit perfectly inside of the -4 lines and was basically used to pressurize the lines and teh gunk out of the lines).

Everything was cleaned thoroughly and let sit for 24hours to dry.
Car runs much smoother now :thumbsup:
