Lift pump advise please

<< < (2/2)

muddyjames:
Maybe air is getting in at the filter or priming bulb as it is on a corner. It just takes forever to start then a plume of white smoke if a hint of veg oil is in there and it ticks over at a horribly low amount of revs. It sounds like an old narrowboat engine chugging away. It is about 500rpm? Pulling away is aweful too, to the point of dangerous and I am changing to veg oil as soon as I feel warm air out of the heater instead of when the engine is at running temp.  :'(

Disco Matt:
That does sound like a side effect of not having a lift pump on the diesel circuit - mine behaved in a similar way when the lift pump broke.

solihull-mick:
You can fit an electric fuel pump to the tdi with no problems, i have fitted a few, i used the facet red top , not cheep but run for ever, hope this helps
