In Arizona, the higher elevation desert gets snow. Phoenix Valley is about the lowest in Arizona and only last year did we get snow (I was in class so missed it, so once again this 26 year old has never been in falling snow). Flagstaff is between me and cooljjay and it is always cold. Also, cooljjay is basically in Colorado. If anyone thinks we don't get rain, come during our monsoon season! We can get a foot of rain in an hour! So I would think that be more a test than an inch every day for weeks on end: not the same G.P.H. rate.

Anyways. I rigged up a small fish tank as a fresh fuel tank and it's returning to the tank line. I cleared out the pick up line and the hand primer would not prime the system. Can I take the fuel pump off and clean it out easily? I suspect that it might be gunked up. |

The valves on either side of the pump can be taken apart and cleaned easy. The actual pump mechanism it's self is a bit more complicated. The valves are likely to become frozen in place. Start there first.

You'll still need to remove the lift pump from the IP. Three 10mm nuts. Prepare for some oil to come out. I've re used 30 yo gaskets without leaks and I've used this cut your own gasket stuff from the auto parts with success.

I checked the tank strainer for fun and of course got another shower diesel even after pumping out a gallon that I had poured in last week. Fuel was brown and very dirty, I really need to get this car titled and a vin cut key made so I can clean the tank out with xylene.
Anyways, tank strainer was clean so I put it back. I'll order a new o ring for it and a new rubber hose for it since the original is weeping a lot. So I guess next step is to pull the lift pump and clean it out. I could also blow some air through the lines and make sure they are not clogged. |

That is funny! Because I don't think about them. They only happen now and then and don't cause too much issue. I was out in one and isn't that bad if you stay in the auto. Also one should be cleaning weekly so a little extra dust shouldn't be an issue. Quote:
It is much warmer since modern man over came the desert. It used to not get over 110*F and now because of the urban heat island we are now hitting 120*F in the Valley. That is one reason I am looking to purchase a little parcel up in the higher part of the State. Quote:
Mind sharing a picture or two? Or do I need to look harder?
