SIV ignition questions
I hooked a compressor to the fuel line, and let it run for over an hour. It leveled off at about 70 psi.
Finally the hose I used to hook the compressor to the fuel line blew out.
Some gas appeared at the end of the fuel line, but the blockage must still be there as the fuel pump once re-hooked to the fuel line draws no fuel when the engine spins.
I can get a pressure hose in the morning, and force air backwards much longer; maybe the block will clear and I can move to step two.
But it looks like fuel line/tank corruption, likely from degraded fuel tank linings.
I guess I'll have to figure out how to remove the gas tanks and fuel line. Removing the tanks should be interesting...
Any knowledge on fuel tank removal would be very much appreciated!
