Also while the engine was running I could see fuel bubbleing out of a small hole in the "coal", so I concluded the fire proof seal had given way.. I had to leave it though to get home.
Today I took a closer look. However, I found when the engine got to tempeture and nice and hot after a run, this "Coal" had gone soft, and looked more like mealted plastic!
As seen, I managed to get the injector out.. I found a spare injector with what looked like a decent copper seal and plastic sleeve and fitted it. We've been for a 100 mile trip today, and so far it looks dry..
Ill need to get a new set of copper seals and sleeves to get the job done properly, but it got me going in an emergency.
That's horrible Paul! A mixture of oil and soot that is...
As far as I know, she doesnt use any oil, so wheres that comming from! Or would it be more from oil spillage from the filler cap, just above that injector??
