Reply to "EFI conversion of my Spyder"

Super-Sano look there, Dr. P.

Hot Rod Jimmy, in my town, was helping his son do an engine rebuild on his Porsche 996 and they were both working on it over a few months.  When it came time to fire it up, Jimmy’s son wasn’t there.  Jim hits the key, it springs to life, he gets out and looks in the engine bay and it is engulfed in 🔥

He kills it, gets a fire extinguisher and puts it out with very little damage, then discovers that one of them didn’t tighten the connection at a “T” and at EFI fuel pressure it was really pumping fuel out.  There was probably enough blame for both, but they just took it in stride and the car was saved, anyway but the morale of the story is; Be like Dr. P, not like Hot Rod Jimmy.  Energize just the pump and check for leaks before you start it up!

🔥 happens.

Most of the time it’s contained.
