Smell of diesel

(1/3) > >>

Jimbo:
The engine bay on the Disco has started to stink of unburnt diesel, so I'm suspecting that there's a leak of some sort somewhere - I can't see anything physically dripping or leaking, but the stink is definitely getting worse, and is more noticable after a run.

Any clues on where to look ?

Evilgoat:
Check the Spillways. Little short hoses beween the injectors. Datalas had to do them for the same reason and mine are weeping.

Hmm, just looked at my RAVE CD - seems the Td5 doesn't have spillways (not ones that are 'external' anyhow), the high pressure fuel line connects to a 'fuel pressure regulator' on the side of the block, and the return comes out of the same regulator and goes back to the tank via a 'fuel cooler'.........time to getmy hands dirty  :roll:

Hightower:
Jim,

The presure regulator would be the best place to start.  They are known to fail.

I thought mine had gone earlier in the year, but thankfully it turned out to be something less serious (was the front axle breather spurting out oil for some reason).

If it is that, make sure they order the right one for your vehicle.  There are two variations.
