I picked up the repaired fuel injection pump this morning.
The fella at the injection specialists said he’d test Big Car’s injectors for free. I think we should take him up on that offer because they might also have been ruined when we tried running Big Car on a mixture of diesel and water. We need to get rid of all the contaminated diesel that we have and get some proper stuff. Also, it might be worth flushing out Big Car’s diesel tank.
After a lot of hunting around for replacements, we have finally decided on what to do with Big Car’s Big Fuel Pump – have it reconditioned by the Bosch people. The savings made in trying to get a replacement would have been very slim compared with the cost of reconditioning it and this way we are guaranteed to have a working pump with the people who gave the g’tee just down the road should we need it.
Bob is going to drop it down to them soon for them to get underway.
