Hi fellas,

So i was thinking about cleaning up my engine bay for the spring.

I'm considering to get a Tornadorgun which allyrenie a forummember demonstraded on here a while back to clean my camcovers and manifold. The fuelrail hs some rusty ugly spots, so i'm thinking about sandblasting the rail and respray in black.

So now to my question (sorry if this is a noob question) , once I remove the fuel rail i supose there will be fuell coming out. How should I proceed to prevent fuel from leaking? And whst type of spray cans (primer, colour, vernis??) will i need to get the rail nicely gloss black and not to peel of after a few months??

Thanks in advance,
Marco

This is the only way really, you could arse about for ages trying to block the holes before you remove it but you may as well just yank the lines off and plug them in one swift movement, minimum spillage!

you could unplug the fuel filter first and let it drain for 30 seconds. then have no spilage in the engine bay.
