Diesel bug..again!

[Peegee]

Thanks to all who gave suggestions yesterday on my bug problem, particularly "Refueler". Nice to have the advice of experts so readily to hand. Just one last query though. On a following post from another forumite with a similar problem, he says he is replacing his fuel lines!..is this necessary, or will flushing through with bug cleaner suffice ?. Thanks again Guys.

Flushing through will suffice.

You can also blow through fuel lines with compressed air but do not pressurise the tank or filters.

Loook at the ECHA ( distributors of Grotamar 71) website which explains it quite well

Doesn't need me to answer - read above !

If anyone wants a real drastic answer to kill bugs in tanks / lines but NOT for any other item - dilute caustic !! But Please if you have no experience of dealing with it - Don't try it !! It will need serious handling, will contravene all HS&E and also need serious disposal after !! Plus the careful clearance of it from all tank and lines areas ! But boy does it do the job !!
