Another update. So after trying the por15 kit (which wasnt successful) i went back to trying citric acid solution, but using the proper ratio of citric acid to water (1-10) . it does a good job, but then you have to rinse it out and dry the tank as fast as possible . i bought a cheapish heat gun to ...

lol

i happen to have one for sale.

Hi Jeff

i have sent you a PM regarding that kit, I'm not sure if the pm has been successful though .

my 1990 has the window sponge. it sits inside the door just below the quarter light ? im not sure what its precise purpose is, but at a guess i can imagine it is to prevent condensation running down and sitting on the beam. as we all know the beam is highly vulnerable to rotting just at that point d...

i would buy that from you, let me know how you want to go about it

i might put it back in , who knows, it might keep the crud from building up on the bottom of the tank, although it didn't do a great job last time. Any way , i have filled the tank with a hot citric acid solution and will leave it overnight on the kitchen worktop, as you do :), wife isn't home yet a...

ok so this is it.

it has 8 rounded cone shaped metal things inside it as well. this was just loose inside the tank.

i have just checked the service notes and there is no mention of this object. i also checked sj sportscar and again no mention of it. Tomorrow i will try to remove it and upload a pic. regarding the tank, i waited until the low fuel light had been on for a few miles, before i drained it. it still pr...

the gauze filter in your pic is fine and in place. i have yet another one rolling around in the tank. its is twice as long and 3x wider than the one in the pic

I removed the tank this afternoon. There is a metal gauze cylindrical object rolling around in it. I don't mean the little one attached to the outlet. this one is about 6 inches long and about 1.5 inches in diameter. Is it meant to be attached to something ?

Thank you for your reply's.


I was mentally prepared to hear it would be best to take it out. It also gives me the opportunity to try and fit a high pressure petrol pipe (for future mods) . Thank you for the link also.

Hello When i updated my fuel pump system a few months ago i removed the original petrol filter and found it full of rust. in my updated system i used a clear glass version so that i could see how much rust was coming from the tank, and after only a couple of hundred miles there was enough for me to ...

i spent a couple of hours the other night looking at ebay/amazon, car audio sites ect , on my 90 excel the hole is 90mm and i couldnt find anything , partly because so few speakers actually specify the mounting hole required, alot of modern speakers taper off, i imagine a few would go in but not sit...

those speakers might not actually fit.

i have spent some time trying to find a speaker that will drop in to the holes without any cutting. the holes is only 90mm across

i am also looking for the same thing , something that will fit into the 90mm hole in the door card without any messing
