FROM THE WEB SITE:
"This is (was) also my road bike. It was eventually fitted with a big draw through Rayjay turbo too! Unfortunately it was destroyed in a fire in my workshop. Along with loads of my skin. The garage actually blew up, due to me not having a fuel tap. I removed the turbo carb to re-jet it and plugged the fuel line with a screwdriver. (No tap, for flow reasons) I left the building for an hour, and a full tank of Avgas/petrol had spilled on the floor as the screwdriver/plug had fell out. I stepped back in and instinctively flicked on the strip lights switch, realised I could smell lots of fuel and looked down. There was a thick fog of fuel vapour about 2 feet deep! And I was splashing about in liquid fuel on the floor. I immediately realised the danger just as the central heating boiler came on on its time switch. This also lived in the garage! BOOM! Loads of more booms later, (welding gear/nitrous bottles, lots of 5 gallon drums of Avgas etc) no garage left, doors, windows, roof all blown off walls/base cracked and tools and bike mostly melted. I only just made it out, because the side door was blown away, as it would not open! Landed in hospital for a few months! Life's fun at times. Still, moving on..."
This guy scares me!!! He makes some good technical points. ie: Jetting at the Solenoids, but I think you will run into problems trying to get the C02 bottles filled
