[V8] Evil rotten stinky foul nasty vile "gasoline" residue

[S_Matus]

Mike - 

I had not driven my '90 V8 in 4+ years and had Fuel Delivery Problems.  I took the Pump out and worked on it for a week.  I soaked it in Carb Cleaner, Brake Cleaner(Full strenght not the water crap) and finally Marvel Mystery Oil.  It would not move until about 4 days of soaking.  I started to rotate the impeller w/ screwdriver, then I used a battery to energize it to get some movement.  I ran the pump Forward and reversed on the battery. and finally got it to throw oil about 6 feet.

I think the crud in the tank will be a real bitch to get out of there.  I mopped up what I could and refilled it w/ fresh petrol.  It starts every month now.

HTHs,
Scott
