Solenoid filter v70

TomW · May 16th, 2013, 21:25

I have just poured some STP injection cleaner down the tube leading to the distributor, as per the advice from Tim, hoping to cure the juddering on gas. I started up and let her stall and will try her out tomorrow on lpg. i would have had the Mesh filter out on the inlet of the distributor but its so inaccessible i decided to leave it. I've been looking for the solenoid filter. How do I change it and where is it located? I thought there might be one at the tank. I hunted around and there's no access , unlike the tank on the s40 bifuel where you just lift the carpet and there it is.

Dear Tom,
I'd wait and see if what you've done cures it first. Which vapouriser is it on the V70?

One thing I would clean out is the inline filter on the larger bore pipe between the vapouriser and the distributor. Removing this completely and back flushing it with IsoPropyl Alcohol (IPA) did produce a noticeable effect with mine. A new one is about £15. Try a back flush first.

All done and running 100% on gas again. I'll clean the filter as you say another time.
