    IP won't accept fuel....why?

    I appreciate your help guys. I'll keep searching for info on the screen. Geez, Gandalf, that is quite a mess you've got there. I'll follow your posts on cleaning that up. My fuel filter had only about 20% of the crud yours does. There's a CD on the DB2 pump on ebay. I'll check to see...

    IP won't accept fuel....why?

    Okaaaaaaay, Got the pump off, and it cleaned up nicely. Guess I should have pulled a bit harder the first time, my aircraft mindset worked against me. Forcing anything on an aircraft usually has bad consequences.:eek: I stripped out a quality socket and wrench getting those 5/16 bolts...

    UPDATE #1.... I've got everything disconnected from the pump, including the three 5/16 bolts on the gear cover (50 ft/lbs???), and the three 9/16 nuts attaching the pump to the gear housing. I've given the pump a gentle tug rearward, it moves slightly, but it feels like something is still...

    OKay, I've removed the 8 injector lines and the fuel supply line going to the nose. Using a mirror and a flashlight, looking into the nose, I don't see the screen, so is it further inside the nose? Do I remove the nose from the pump base to access the screen? How do you remove the...

    Any consensus on fuel & oil additives?

    They are 1993 and 1994 non turbo. From 50 ft away, they look like ordinary E350s, with a few minor changes. Anyone with formal law enforcement training could probably spot a few more anomalies fairly quickly. this site gives a photo...

    Any consensus on fuel & oil additives?

    I've been reading a lot of posts here, and was wondering if the majority of members feel some additives are truly worthwhile, or does each one have it's supporters and detractors.:dunno I recently bought a small fleet of U.S. Govt, covert urban assault vehicles, based on the Ford E350, with...
