Fuel cans?

After a couple of fuel starvation issues on the 550 I decided to drain the tank and blow all the lines out. Lots of crappola in the system so a job worth doing. Anyhow... the one thing I didn't have to hand was a supply of derv to refill and bleed through. So off to Morrisons with a jerry can and wa...

Re: What switch for manifold heater?

Put a test light or voltmeter between the heater supply lead and battery earth. Turn the key slowly and somewhere between 'ign on' and 'start', you may see the light come on or a current register. If not, try turning the key backwards, see if that does anything.
