pity your shipment never arrived, so we never know what the problem is.

DHL = Delayed, Held up, Lost.

I have finally received the faulty FAV assembly. The issue was due to contaminated methanol. Was told via email the methanol was purchased from a model airplane shop. I believe it contains 30% castrol oil.

Wonder why people do not read the warning, clearly stated on the flip side of box.

Hi Richard,

thank you for the quick diagnostics.

Unfortunately, i was mislead by the company.
I asked if it had oil contamination, they claimed it had not.
Also the label shows no sign of contamination:



There are no other labels ANYWHERE on the box (checked all sides) or whatever.

In the end, you have to trust the seller. I guess not.
Anyways,
As said, i now get a different source for the meth and it will be 100%. I will mix with distilled water, to rule out any contamination.

I will flush the system and tank before reinstalling replacement parts.

Thanks again,

Kind regards,
Jeroen

UPDATE:

here is the dutch page where they claim it is not contaminated:

http://www.coolisbetter.nl/catalog/p...06ef58a70924ea


It reads: "Deze mix van 50% Gedestilleerd water en Methanol [..]" I think you can don't need the translation...

So i tried my best to get the correct fuel mixture...

Your can get 99.9% pure methanol from a bio diesel supplier. We pay around £16-20 for 25 litres here in UK, undiluted.
