Hi all.
A very important warning to all P38 owners with models years 1994 to early 99 which is commonly known as the GEMs injection systems.
If you can see 4.6 on top of the engine then you have the GEMS.
If your exhaust shields are not in place due to a head job or aftermarket headers being fitted there is a very, very high possibilty that the fuel supply pipe will rupture which will result in a fire, pictures to follow on my blog by Thursday next week of a Autobiography that had a engine fire.
Apart from the fire hazard the Brake modulator will fail as it sits very close to the exhaust headers which in effect boils the units to death, repair is not possible and cost $$$$$$$
As these vehicles are now getting to age I advise all with the above year P38s to replace their fuel pipes from the steel tubing to the fuel rail with high heat type silicon piping.
There are many gimick silicon looking pipes out there and no doubt your local spares supplier will tell you all his fuel pipes are high heat, well they are not.
Even the replacement hose clamps should be of a decent known brand unlike what Midas will try and flog off onto you called "TONI" (Here in RSA) they are utter rubbish.
Are you worrried, you should be...... make it your number one priority must do on your Rangie
Im placing this as a ultra important replacement on every GEMs P38 that now comes into my workshop, if you are a Indy and get GEMS P38s in you will need to consider this repair
Cheers
