Bosch storage - Matt - 13-02-2013
Best way to store it? And how long can I store it for?
Got my hands on a Bosch thanks to Samass, but we didnt get round to fitting it last week, now I don't want it to go dry etc.
Also I did search, as I know there was a thread before, but couldn't find it. Just a shit load of fs threads and tuning guides lol

Fill it with diesel, and turn it over every so often, its the way I store mine, and its been sitting best part of a year
RE: Bosch storage - Matt - 13-02-2013
I'm a newb to pumps etc, when you say fill, do you mean fill it via the fuel line or is there a way to get in to it to fill it up

Leave it sat in a container of diesel, literally submerge it.

That would be the handier way
I had a bosch on my first engine, so just unscred the fuel in line and pumped the primer till it went hard

This^ use the grenade on the fuel input banjo and keep pumping till it comes out the outlet

Sweet deal, will get some diesel in it, hooefully fitting in a couple of weeks anyway

Should still have derv in it from when it was taken off, yeah, no harm in topping up
RE: Bosch storage - Marcus1991 - 13-02-2013
I had mine stored for 3 months full of diesel, turned it once a week.

This better be for what we were convincing you about at Reading; if it's not, i will be massively dissapointed... ?
RE: Bosch storage - Matt - 13-02-2013
Maybe.... Maybe not....
Still very much in two minds about it
