i've heard of people checking this way...didnt know it could cut tho  :shocked:

Diesel is worse, at around 1500Psi, It can cut through bone, fingers, directly into the blood....

ouch that made me cringe  :sad: where would I get one of the scope things to detect the pulse?  :smiley:

Yes, you can get a fuel additive that does it. Otherwise for a real clean you need to send them off  to a specialist. However you might find that getting them cleaned etc could be nearly as much a new set :/
