Clean Engine

While replacing the fuel filter and checking the HPOP ,I noticed that there was a light covering of fuel with dust settled in it on the inside of the cover and surrounding areas. Would it cause any problems to clean this area with some purple stuff and water? Thanks, Mike

Ya, just don't soak the electrical connections. Scrub it as good as you can and rinse it off with a hose and not a lot of pressure.

Simple green at a 50/50+ concentrate would work well and not damage anything as well....
