Cut out the rear of the floor this am with a 1mm abrasive disk .
Exposed the fuel tank top.Unscrewed the plate with the lift pipe.
checked the filter in end.
some fluff on it.
blew the feed pipe through all clear.
Reassembled all hatches to fuel tank. In for a coffee.!!
Next step is to make a joggled strip surround for the cut out piece to fit back in hole.
Will pop rivet( High tensile ones!!) this onto cut out. Then fit with self tappers in place.
The fuel system is now ok. It was bad bio diesel fuel..
the system has a rotary lift pump on the injection pump body, this delivers excess fuel to the main pumping head. Surplus fuel is returned to the tank.
The high pressure injection pump runs at a injector pressue of 150 bar.
ITs a single pumping element
The pump is made by Denso, under licence from Bosch.
Its electonically controlled via the cpu, but its not the latest type of common rail diesel system.
A couple of hours work to do then were back to square 1.
Thanks for your inteest everyone.
Ill takeit for a run to get fresh diesel fuel.
Im running on a visually calibrated fuel tank hanging in the cab.
So can see exactly how much fuel is being used.
Will report back the numbers.
Ted.
