Jinx Reyneke Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Recently changed fuel filter because saw exhaust smoke was quite black and becoming more and more over a few days. Also put in a new mechanical lift pump. As I was driving it felt aas if it ran out of fuel. But has a full tank. I put in an electric pump to bypass and the fuel is getting to injector pump but not coming out the other end where the pipes to injectors are fastened to pump. I suspect that dirty fuel has bunged things up. How do I check and clean SIMPLY as I am 100 of miles away from any pro help. Thanks Jinx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 try disconnecting the 4 injector pipes from the Iinjection pump rear connections & spin the engine over on the stater, that should clear any blockage, after reconnecting the injection pipes you will have to bleed each one to remove any air from the pipes.

JimAttrill Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I hope that works. I thought the diesel in Moz was ok nowadays, but it seems that is not true. I can only add that maybe you should take the glow plugs out to make the engine easier to spin over. (If you take the injectors out you really have to change the copper seals).

Disco-Ron Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Might also be worth checking you have power going to the fuel solenoid on the back of the pump.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
