Ok, I'm stumped. Ideas?...
Axetamer:
mine had a filter on the bottom of the fuel pickup pipe actually inside the tank...don't know if this was an original feature or a mod by the previous owner...looked like a metal teabag affair... this kept filling up with sediment in the tank causing fueling problems, I have cut this teabag thing off and have put in a prefilter before the pump.. just one of those clear cheap inline things. ...a simple cut and insert with a couple of clips...added bonus is you can see the fuel coming through when the engines running helping with diagnosis..

was it a petrol truck once or did tank come off one? petrol90' ones I seen have had mesh filter in tank and caused no end of trouble when tank was fitted to my diesel. Diesel from the pump is full of a crazy amount debris like fibre glass! and those mesh filters clog up in a few miles.

Faulty lift pump? wouldn't be the first time.

Latest update:
I have replaced the fuel lift pump again and replaced the old TD fuel filter assembly and pipework with the proper 200tdi jobbies. All new pipes and connections. The tank is pristine. Spotless. So is the diesel.
Fault is still there occasionally although I can now do 60mph (up from 50 which was up from 30!)
Hard plastic pipe from turbo to injector pump is fine and not leaking. Turbo is spinning up and everything runs sweet as a nut for the main part. However it is still not right :angry:
Any ideas? Are there any filters inside the injection pump that could have debris from the blown lift pump stuck in them?
