I was running the deuce and saw some puffs of smoke coming from the passenger side of the engine compartment... discovered my flame heater injector was leaking. Dripping fuel directly onto the exhaust side of the turbo.
So... I did a semi- delete of the flame heater.
Removed the compression fittings from the injector and plugged it with some brass pipe plugs, deleted the T from the fuel line between the other injectors, and removed and plugged the fuel feed from the front of the IP. That last one was a pain! Especially with the winch drive shaft in the way. Yuck!
Anyway, got it all back together, ran it up to operating temp, and didn’t find any more leaks!

Now I’m not afraid of it catching fire
I’m going to fully remove the flame heater injector and spark plug when I get around to adding a pyro/boost gauge. Until then, that’s why I’m calling it a “semi-delete”
