Still no joy

[Tony Brooks]

Bit of dramatic licence there Tony (hence the wink). However, we also know that diesel can explode if it vaporises under pressure and since the OP mentioned in his first post that he'd replaced all the pipework, I was also wondering what the other joints were like. Still, it seems all is not as it appears in the photograph, and we're really seeing properly terminated copper pipe in a heavy rubber sheath. That being the case (and reassured that the OP is safe) it's time I stopped drawing the thread away from your sterling fault finding support!

 

No worries. Actually as I am on mobile broadband at the moment I had not opened the images at full size so did not notice the hoses. Good job you did otherwise the could have been the problem all along although we now know differently.

If your problem disappeared when you put cleaner in and returned soon after, it would seem possible that your fuel and /or tank is dirty.

 

Hi all many thanks for all your advice here are some photos, I really carnt believe that after all the money work and head scratching it came down to a four quid bottle of red x. It runs like a dream touch wood. Once again thanks for sharing your invaluable knowledge with me. Happy at lastimage.jpegimage.jpeg

 

 

It's back I've bit the bullet and taken the pump off, it's now with the local diesel specialist.

I have drained the fuel and cleaned the tank. It's full of fresh fuel. I'm just waiting for the pump to come back from the diesel specialist.when I refit it how will I time it up.

Well pumps back from the diesel shop ,I've fitted it this morning and with a great deal of tampering I'm glad to say that it's running well. In fact it's running great, touch wood. Again thanks for everyone help it was much appreciated .

Many thanks for reporting back, far too many don't bother. Keep us informed if for no other reasons to prove the dirty ank brigade wrong.

They were proved wrong when Benno rigged up the jury rig fuel tank and it still did it.
