fuel distributor inlet plug?
Hey guys....Q: is there a fuel distributor inlet filter on my '81 euro 240 hp car? If I take off the inlet line is there a way to properly clean it?

I think all the inlet connectors originally had brass screens in them..I know the WUR inlet usually does. The major problem is getting them out without wrecking them. Once out, I have in the past burned all the crap off with a cigarette lighter.

There is a brass screen in the coupler where the intake line meets the FD. Common point of obstruction after cars have sit for a bit. Can try soaking in injector cleaner, and using some compressed air to blow through the coupler back upstream after using the solvent. Actually, I bet an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner would be great medicine...

The screen is inside a male-male fitting that connects the fuel line to the fuel distributor. It's like a banjo fitting.
After 30 years everything needs a cleaning.

In my experience these things have a mixture of condensed stuff out of the fuel, and very small fibrous particles - lint etc. Solvents can slowly(VERY slowly sometimes) remove soluble parts, but they wont help with the fibres, which is why i have burnt them clean. An ultrasonic could remove the fibres, but not the other stuff , unless its been sparated from the filter mesh itself.

Mine had gotten to the point that is was just a wad of metal mesh blocking the opening. I just removed it, although that felt a little bit unwise in the long term as I know the hard lines coming forward are full of crystals of hardened fuel and crap that could break free and come forward. I wonder if Roger or Mark or anybody can get that part with the screen in it.

It's 928 110 922 00 and available for $34. I'm surprised the 928I website doesn't list a used part. Perhaps a phone call to 714-632-9288 (memorized!) will find differently.
