How many of you regularly check and clean your methanol nozzles? I ask because a few months ago after finding my meth consumption was getting slower I thought I’d check the system. I started by disconnecting the pipes that connect to the nozzles and activate the pump by pressing the microswitch on the pressure switch. This proved the pump was actually working so I then removed both the nozzles along with the the adapters and then unscrewed the nozzles from the adapters
Wow, I wasn’t expecting that!! The adapters were nearly completely clogged and the mini filter on the spray nozzle was badly clogged (this is after around a year of use as I changed the nozzle about a year ago and added a second one) but both look as bad as each other. I never thought to remove and clean them before and never thought that they would get as manked up as that especially using De-Ionised water and 99.85% pure methanol (from a reputable chemical company)
The Devils Own nozzles are made up of four parts which screw together and can easily be dismantled with a flat blade screw driver for cleaning. I gave them a blast with carb cleaner to remove as much gunk as possible and then put them in the ultrasonic cleaner with a cap or two of cleaning solution.
After good clean they look like new
unlike my grubby fingers 
I just thought I’d share what I’d found, maybe everyone else cleans theirs regularly and I’m the only one who’s neglected to check them
lesson learned but I think I will begrudgingly invest in one of those expensive inline filters and check the nozzles every six months from now on
