[DML] Re: Fuel Distributor ect

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ordinary hoses will not handle the high pressures this system runs at.
The origional ones should clean up with acetone. Brushes, like little
bottle brushes, can be used to clean the hoses and banjo bolts. You
should replace the copper gaskets when you reassemble.
