After breaking down on a previous trip at the end of the river the boat was out of action as water was found in the fuel. The tank was drained and all filters replaced but me being me had to clean all the fuel system. So i removed the vst so i could clean it, but to get at it i had to remove the inlet manifold first which was quite tricky.
I took the bits home so i could give everything a good clean. The vst had lots of water still inside it even though i had drained it with the drain screw. The fuel pump strainer was almost completely blocked.
I also cleaned the fuel rail ,regulator and injectors and replaced the filter baskets inside the injectors and seals.
After fitting it all back to the engine myself and andy took the boat out for a trial. What a difference it made the boat has never run so well much better acceleration and top speed was much better. All ready for the summer fishing now.
