The mix in pic 2 was about 10ml cutting oil with 1 lit water. This I did for testing purposes i.e. see if there is any bio growth or forming of layers.

Calculated solution will be made later on, which I would carry out as per your advice.

Also, I could not find replacement for T's (could not think of a way to make them from plastic). So I am going to use the old T's that I made from Cu tubing, quarter (coin) for blocking the holes at either end of tube and sealing it off with solder. On Saturday, I shall conduct the experiment.

One important thing I came to know: The fuel pump already has a coating of some sort. I actually asked some tech person to nickel plate it for me and he said that I do not need to as this pump has anodized coat (factory default, so that it does not react with petrol). Nickel will not be strong enough according to him.
