FBH ..james bond (007) style smoke screen
Been testing the latest release of Faultmate software .
It has a new prime FBH feature so the other day i used it . Left the car and the next morning at 6am rang the car to start the FBH . 5 mins later my dog was going mad , so i looked out the window to see what looked like my car on fire .Rushed down an opened the bonnet , but all was well ....Just a lot of smoke
Anyway primed it again earier on and video'd the firing ...have a look here
Can deffinatly see its working now G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

No Matt ...it will eventually clear out the excess fuel . Next time i fired it , it was normal .
Be handy if its had a failed start ..as it will prime the fuel right up to the FBH .G4 Gone ...but not forgotten
