Unleaded Meter Unit, Fitted New Rotor, Suitable For TR5, TR6 & 2.5 PI |
|
During early testing it became apparent that the material used for the manufacture of seals and fuel diaphragm used in normal leaded unit rebuild was not suitable for use in unleaded fuel. The chemicals present in unleaded fuel melted the seals and caused massive leaks. In order to solve this problem, we now have every seal and the diaphragm manufactured using our own specially designed tooling from a material compatible with both leaded and unleaded fuels. These seals are now also used in our units fitted with standard rotors. In order to test the unit to extreme a purpose built test rig was manufactured to simulate an engine application. This test rig used standard injectors, PRV and Lucas pump. The unit was run for a total of 1800 hours at a constant 5600 RPM engine speed, this represents in excess of 100,000 miles. At 100 hour intervals both the meter unit and the pump were stripped and examined, neither showing any signs of wear, other than normal, both being reassembled and again run on the test rig. No further testing is to be carried out on this rig as we now feel that the unit has proven itself, bearing in mind we now have in excess of 1600 units in use Worldwide.
