| Re: Fuel Tank Valve Selector WVO,SVO,Biodiesel
I got busy today and pulled the solenoids apart to see if gumming was part of my problem.
The first thing I noticed when I flicked the switch was that there was no audible "thwack" sound as normal. Anyway, pulled them apart and they were pretty sticky. I didn't find any gunk in the assembly but the valves certainly were sticky.
Put the whole lot back together and then flipped the switch on both. One clacked over, the other did not! After some initial consternation and a bit more switch flicking, they both worked as they should. I didn't use degreaser to clean the components as Omar suggested. Will wait and see if it plays up again.
After seeing this thread and having my ute conk out on me upon switching to veg a couple weeks ago, I decided to pull them apart.
It's pouring rain here and there is no sign of it easing up anytime soon. That's what you get for living in the tropics I guess. Once this subsides, I'll it out for a spin and see if it works again.
