Looks like a dremel on steroids. I think a dremel is a much better idea but I wasnt sure if I had one, turns out, I do.

And yes it is air powered.

the only fuel that comes out is what is in the components you are removing, you may get about 1/4 cup from the FCA and less than that from the gear pump.

yha, i fixed it took another 5 min...

over all , a verry ez mod to do, the hardest part for me was getting my big hands down in behind the pump to get to the screws.

when i did it the first time i made sure the valve was free... it slid in and out on its own from just gravety.. im not shure why i had to much presure... unless some how i just didnt get a good conecton when i pluged it in...

any ways, its worthit.. even pulling it all apart twice and being super **** it only took about 45 min..

as far as the screws... there torx, t25 & t30.. use a driver thats in good shape and it is almost imposable to strip..

Once you grind the head(s) off and take the FCA out the darn things came right out. Turned them out with the tip of my finger.
