Arrow thoughts on the Mazdatrix fuel press bleeder??

I'm thinking of getting the Mazdatrix fuel press bleeder
FYI, that press bleeder is sorta like an H pipe that goes between the fuel
lines and the take in/return fuel pipes by the oil filter. What it does is
bleed the fuel line's pressure when the car is shut off to prevent flooding
from leaky injectors/seals.

Do any of you who have used it have any "go for it" or "Dont waste your
money" inputs on this item b4 I buy it?

It does work. It's not the right way to fix the problem but it does what it is supposed to do. I have one that I've never used that I will sell you for $5 cheaper than a new one and I'll pay shipping. It's still in the package with all the hardware and instructions. Never used.
Let me know.

Mike

Fuel pump cut-out switch is still cheaper and easier to install.

Can yo uexplain this fuel cut, its been a while since I read up on it.

Right now all I'm doing is disconecting the wire cluster that included the fuel pump wire, but which wire is it?


I was also thinking of that.

and after I conect the swithc, what do I do exactly to unflood?

I say do the fuel pump kill switch. The fuel bleeder does work, but takes a short amount of time. The switch is more effective and cheaper so its the better route to take.
