What stinks?

[Don Frelier]

I bought a replacement Walbro fuel pump for the charger.
They ship it with some kind of storage solution.

WOW that stuff has a strong odor kinda like methylene chloride.

Anyone know what it actually is?

Should I flush it out before installing it?

don't drink it, and try not to inhale

Here's a possible answer to this mystery:

The link below is to an article on how to spot fake Walbro 190 & 255 fuel pumps. In it they state that genuine Walbro pumps come in an unsealed bag with the pump covered in mineral spirits to help stop corrosion from forming, and that Walbro also uses mineral spirits to flow test their new pumps to make sure they're working to full spec . . .

Some lines for picking up gals “Do your flaps need adjusting?” “Can I give you one for the kipper?” Have to think more about the mimsy. If she has a clue about these mean slapping you silly, she’s older than she looks…
