Post by 110wyn »

Well, after thinking i had sorted my fuel pump problem last night (see Fuel Pump?) i went to take the car to work this morning only to havee the exact same thing happen as yesterday.

time to bite the bullet & buy a new pump i think.

well an air leak before the injection pump would let the fuel bleed off from the feed lines - back into the tank and requiring re-priming every morning, had that before on a cav diesel.

An air leak due to an incorrect Fuel Filter Housing causes it to not want to start in the mornings due to depressurisation of the system.....
