Storing Bosch Injectors - Marcus1991 - 17-12-2013
I have got some Bosch Injectors as a back up and just wondering how I should store them. Would it be the same a fuel pumps to keep diesel in them? Cheers.

Store in a jar of diesel, with a lid on it? Cos diesel be hygroscopic

^ Hydroscopic means absorbs water, same as brake fluid

But it's in a dry location with no lid on.. So it'll just draw water in from the air?

Yes, moisture in the air. Diesel to moisture is like a sponge in a sink full of water.

I panicked when I saw that correction before I realised it wasn't aimed at me
