I use the ACC-CARBC-LE-NR which came in a black bottle.
Now for the bad news:
My car, now with the transplanted, cleaned FD, is experiencing fuel delivery problems. These problems might still indicate a faulty FD. I have finally been able to testdrive the car, after a thorough cooling system flush and the problem made itself evident.
It's a strange problem: The motor will idle pretty well and for a long time ( during coolant flushing and tuning). It will rev up and sound very good, when stationary, however, after about a mile of driving the motor will gradually lose power, stumble and stall. If I let it rest for as little as two minutes, the car will start right up and run for another several. If I let the car rest for 20 or 30 minutes, I can drive it around the block before the bogging down comes back. The odd thing is that this condition only appeared after a 30 mile run, during the initial test. It now will set on within a mile or two. [...update: the more I consider it, the more this sounds like sediment & rust in the fuel tank problem ]
This behaviour will also happen with the gas tank cap off.
I'll start another thread to discuss the problem and possible solutions, but getting back to cleaning the FD:
I would not yet rule out it's potential. The FD I have been experimenting with came with unknown history. As a result of cleaning, I know some contaminant washed out, but for now that's the only conclusion I can make.
