Fuel starvation ????
Eck-T:
I am having some problems with the 110 300 TDI, it seems like its running out of fuel every few mins, i bleed the diesel filter and off it goes again , then same again... new fuel tank fitted recently and changed lift pump for new one, vent to tank ok , any ideas im stumped!!
ian_s:
are you getting air out when you bleed it?
Saffy:
are the unions on the lift pump tight ? if they draw in air the engine will be hard to start, rev poorly - and likely stall before long, can be quite a bit of smoke too. I had this last weekend when working on fuel lines and forgot to re-tighten the lift pump unions fully.
Eck-T:
I get lots of air out when bleeding , and all connections are tight, I am looking at length of stroke of pump today to see if its just not keeping up with demand from engine, have been told pumps have different arms fitted so worth a try, fiddly [ed: naughty] of a thing to get into though!!
mroxo:
Check your fuel pickup tube in your tank coz mine was at a very strange angle and would suck air with 20 odd litres in the tank. Took it off and bent it a bit and now its fine.
