Storing K-Jet parts

[opethmike]

Since I am no longer using K-Jet on my car, I am going to be putting the K-Jet parts into storage.

What's the best way to store these parts? And is any special work needed for the fuel distributor & control pressure regulator?

Ideally, you'd want to get 100% of the gas out of it. For those parts the best way would be to hook them up like stock, and run pressurized mineral spirits through the lines for a minute. Now that they are already disassembled, soaking them would probably also work. Don't to anything harsher than mineral spirits though, the gas is still fresh and you don't want to damage the rubber. Mineral spirits is generally safe on gas-tolerant rubber for short periods. Now that there is no gas to protect the un-painted steel portions, you'll need to keep it in a moisture-free sealed container.

That is of course for perfect preservation. Realistically sitting on a shelf should be fine as long as its not a high-moisture environment.

Just spray it liberally inside and out with WD-40 and put the parts in a sealed plastic bag. Label it as to what it is and the date you stored it. Store in a cool, dry place out of sunlight.
