Absorbs more moister from what I can gather. Mix 50/50 with premium in my MX5 to reduce this
That's a tad pricey though. I wonder what the drier additives cost in comparison?

For enough to treat 75 litres you're looking at about 9 quid:

But you really only need it if you leave your vehicle for over a month unused

It has Ethanol in it, not diesel so I think not.

Have you tried Island 4 x 4?Going back to the pump, I still don't seem to be able to find a single retailer with stock, they all seem to need to get it from their wholesalers

Island list them, but of course no longer offer counter collection, only mail order, and typically take 5 days to deliver from Maidstone to Tonbridge...I guess via the Outer-Hebrides
I may have found one in Chichester, which is a schlep in the wrong direction but needs must...

Blimy, pre Brexit Island were getting stuff to me in 3 days here in France.Island list them, but of course no longer offer counter collection, only mail order, and typically take 5 days to deliver from Maidstone to Tonbridge...I guess via the Outer-Hebrides

I have had a Brit Part pump in my project P38 for 3 years now, ,keep the tank well topped up and they seem OK, at least mine has given no trouble.

This is a Bearmach so of similar ish standard, it will have to do for now as I need to get the P38 pressed into service moving all the Series projects, my T25 Camper, Motorbike, Lathe and 4 post Bradbury Ramp down here to Kent as my old house is sold and we are scheduled to complete on the 14th of February

I think they are the same but I could be wrong on that..

The have the same Sender unit housing, but the actual pump itself is different between petrol and diesel I believe. In the diesel tge stock pump is only rated to 85 litres per hour and 0.2 bar pressure. It really is there just to make sure there's fuel at the engine mounted mechanical high pressure injection pump for start up

It's there for more than start up I can assure you, with a dead pump and a quarter tank of diesel, mine would not go up a gentle hill, no power.

Ok, probably plumbed to stop surge problems as the tank gets low then, as the pick-up 'pot' looks like it's designed to hold about the equivalent of a fuel filters worth of fuel so might act as a surge tank in that situation looking at tge shape and orientation to the tank.

After a bit of a bleed of the fuel filter outlet the engine running happily post Lifter Pump repalcement, and I've just replaced the injector leak of hoses as despite looking new they were all sweating
But having fun...again...and now I roped in a mate with far more electrickery experience and we are most stumped with the EAS
Anyway we're now in the situation where the suspension has risen to maximum height and is refusing to lower regardless of dash switch pushes or commands from EAS Unlock. Solenoids do appear to be clicking it just simply doesn't want to let any air out! Exhaust silencer is off the valve block too.
We've now got the Valve Block and Compressor out of the plastic casing and are trying to trace what's going on with each solenoid thanks to some of the links Wammers (RIP) included in his guide. However it is starting to look like the Driver Pack may have died

And it is looking like it is the Driver Pack at fault.
Exhaust Solenoid will not fire when instructed to do so by EAS Unlock, but ground the 'drop' side of the solenoid and it fires so in all probability there's no power being sent to the Exhaust Solenoid by the Driver Pack. Bugger.

Very rare for the driver pack to exhibit a fault like that, more often it's down to bad connectors and/or earths.
Are there no faults logged?
