Can you use this several times ? How does it work?
I used it all the time , it's very fine .
The brand is Gunson , like your CO meter .

When you see the correct color in the plug , you have best combustion !
Like the first picture with blue spark , to orange is rich and "white" to poor .
It's easy and the best way for a correct CO .

Cheap and very nice solution to test my mixture. I will certainly give it a try.
Thanks for the tip !

Hi All.

A quick update. My problem regarding getting the fuel out sorted itself by the car splitting the fuel tank and dumping the fuel on the floor of my garage!! Tank now taken out, cleaned out and sealed up. I have had a low fuel pressure issue identified and resolved, and now need to drive the car plenty to confirm all the issues are over.

Thanks for all the replies.

Regards,

Jed in Sydney,

Have you identified the cause of the tank splitting? I have heard of blocked breathers causing the tank to be sucked in on itself.
