I'm a kiwi, and we usually call it petrol, although occasionally it will get called fuel or gas. Our petrol is really expensive because over half the price we pay is actually tax.
G'day Brian. Yet again another great video. I find it really great that you have a table of contents so we can, if need be (as I have had to do) is go directly to where I was up to previously. Yes, you should be wearing gloves. Make sure you get those fancy blue or orange carbon fiber ones. Do you also have the carbon fiber cloths at hand? Anyway onto serious matter. There's something therapeutic about watching people working on what truly are beautiful cars. Yes, these cars may be cheap to buy these days but they aren't necessarily cheap to repair, even yourself. This of course is due to it still being a luxurious car. I laughed where you said it was a 22-year-old car! Back when we were younger 22-year-old cars didn't always look this damn good. People steer clear of European cars, even from back then, because they wrongly believe they are too difficult to work on. They really aren't. So it's great seeing you get this one back to its best. It's also best to use OEM where you can. These cars, for the most part, need to be as they were when they left the factory, or as close to it as you can get IMHO. Who is the manufacturer of the bench test equipment? BtW we Aussies & Brits call it petrol mostly but fuel is also used. It just depends on how you're thinking. I run my 01 Range Rover on LPG & petrol, so I'd say I was getting some fuel. Unless I was specifically getting petrol.
I have some great black carbon fiber gloves to go with my carbon fiber towels! Now, I just need to wear them properly. I've always had a hard time remember to put some on until I'm already covered in grease and oil. I also completely agree with you it's amazing that nearly 25 year old cars today are actually still very road worthy with a little love. 25 year old cars when I learned to drive were death traps (many many years ago). I 100% agree that OEM is the preferred path, but I do think an "upgrade" in just the right spots occasionally can be well worth it, but I'll never use cheaper parts when I have an OEM or OEM+ option.
I am! Next episode is 90% done, but work and I had a major repair I had to make on my house that has eaten up the last few weeks. Hoping to get another out early next week. Might put out a short one real quick this week.
Thanks! Just a word of warning if you have the Bentley manual. It looks like the diagram in there is wrong. Make sure and document which lines are which from the tank (the one from the top is the supply, the one feeding back into the bottom is the return). The filter should have the word 'IN' next to the supply in (which is typically the outside edge) and the return is in the center.
@@ShowingUStuff nice! Hopefully that makes it easier. Come to find out, after a few days driving, the check valve in my new pump is bad, so gotta fix that. Was a pain to diagnose because it could be the pressure regulator on my filter too. Yours is more simple in that the PR is behind the intake manifold instead. Let me know how it goes if you do!
