Default Home made carbon flush...

steps:

1. run out of gas 2 miles from station
2. have mom bring some gas in a can
3. make sure mom grabs a 5 gallon can 1/2 full of water and then put 5 bucks of gas on top of it.
4. don't check (always should with women) the gas can.
5. put in tank
6. drive 2 miles, run out again coast into gas station parking lot.
7. put 10 bucks more in.
8. crank and crank and try and figure out why car doesnt run
9. get a electric pump... pump out all the water and gas out of the tank (8 gallons)
10. buy new fuel filter
11. buy HEET moister remover
12. put 5 gallons and HEET into tank
13. crank, start... run rest of water through till you get to gas

you're done.

Bumblezc, thats like an extreme intake cleaning! lol. I've heard of misting water into an intake and it cleans it. Either way both are funny as hell.

i never could hydrolock my 87 crx. it would just stall. then id crank and crank until it started and it would blow smoke for a couple mins then be fine

running water instead of gas is the way to go though
