Title: IPA cleaner for Fuel Pump
Post by: johnhol78 on October 25, 2011, 07:06:24 pm

What cleaner and where from have people used when stripping their fuel pumps?

Heard IPA though can't find any shops selling it.

Also know detailers use this when machine polishing (I never have).

Thanks

Not sure if it's suitable for the purpose but IPA can be bough from maplins in litre tin can, or online from amazon and ebay. Might need to be diluted down for the purpose.

You may already have them John but here is the guide. It says non chlorinated cleaner.
