Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey all hows things ok on friday i got a hole in my fuel filter so i bought another one ok went to hervey bay and it was like the turbo was spinning then slowing down anyway thats not the problem the power was dropping then coming back on like a huge head wind but there was no wind sooo done it on the way home lack of power ect went to work on monday it stalled 3 times on me the same on the way home so i poped the bonnet when i got home and the fuel primer was sucked in so she is running out of fuel can amyone help or idea anything owuld be great and options before i open the wallet (i also changed the spring on the fuel primer)

regards scott or can msg me or call me on (0421841091)

m8 ..you have algai in your tank....if you switch to the other tank, it should run ok...there is a screen on the pickup in the tank, it blocks with this shit growing all over it, and the primer sucks down.....friend blew compressed air back through it, and blew the screen off the pipe....not recommended....you will have to buy nissan fuel treatment with anti algai and change your filters regularly after that...once you have cleaned the crap off....

i havnt tryed the other tank as yet how the F*ck do u clean out the tank doesnt sound like fun at all

Your prob may be as above but it is pretty common for your fuel filter primer thingo to suck in air which will cause it to stall especially on rough roads. Try priming it. To fix is a new one.

This would not cause the primer to suck down...only vacuum in the fuel line will do that. The other thing to note is the original problem, which was the filter becoming holed....how does that happen??? More info Scott....

i have the same problem in my 2H, vehicle will losw power randomly.

happens more frequently when tank is low, but also happens on a full tank.

Cant be getting air in the system as that would mean it would stall and I would have to bleed it to get it going again. (inline pump) Rather, it just loses power for anywhere between 3 seconds and 10 seconds, and then goes again.

Im thinking its a fuel supply problem, have changed filter and checked the primary filter on the inlet to the lift pump.

Lift pump has a new plunger and valves, but i havent done the insides of the lift pump yet, although i do have the parts to do so.

hey i switched to my sub tank today and it doesnt appear to be playing up as yet so i bought some diesel power diesel addative to try but ill see what happens

This happened to a mates 91 hdt...he ended up running on the sub and filled the main tank with water and bleach to kill the algai....worked a treat, but you really really have to be careful doing it that way....ie flush with diesel a few times afterwards...
The filter in the tank is easy to get to, you remove secnd row seats, pull back carpet, and get into the tank through the hole in the floor

is it that easy in a HJ60 aswell?>

hey all i took the 2nd row seats out today and got to the main tank sender unit pulled it out and saw the filter and OMG algi allover it no wonder she was getting no fuel sooo i went to tojo to get a newy and they dont sell them so i come home a cleaner the old one out i havnt driven it sence then but yea im sure it will be fine thanks heaps andrew ur a champ anyway thanks for all the ideas and stuff have a good one

Hey
well done....now that fueltreatment you r using will kill the algai and it will then start floating in the tank, and get picked up in the filter...so make sure you have a good supply...now would be the time to invest in a cav adapter....
Andrew

i was lookin at them today and yes im going to invest in one

Yep cav filters are nice and cheap however they do clog easy so carry a couple of spares with you at all times.

Does anyone know who sells the original CAV filter cartridges, I did not like the Repco and ryco ones.
