Fixed the leak to a large extent. Inside cover plate had come loose..
25 Litres of diesel to travel 40k's.... :shock: :shock:
Sealed up and loctited screws.. So far so good.

But will steer clear of a 3L pump due to different internals..

My current pump is leaking like a sieve. And it is a lot cheaper to replace the pump with a known good pump from a 3L than to get mine overhauled.Less than 1/3 the price....

cut out

Have you tried to drain the fuel filter/water separator or change the fuel filter.

If you have a blocked fuel filter it start, run for a bit and then die as the turbulence of the flow of fuel will stir up all the muck in the filter and block it.

tar

To remove the tar sound deadener, get some dry ice from BOC gases or an industrial supply place and throw it on your floor and let it evaporate for a while. This will make the tar go hard and brittle then just hit it with a scraper or screwy and it should peel off relatively cleanly. :armsup: Make ...

Avtur and diesel

Have run a mix for years with no problems at all. 50/50 was what I used to run. Get a white spirits drum and take it away. Just don't get caught. Could be deemed as theft as most of the fuel and oil is recycled. But give it a go. Works a treat.. Slight power gain as well.

Mine follows basically the factory route. From the extractors under the tailshaft to the left hand side of the truck, rearwards under the tub where the muffler is and over the diff.
