FLAWLES Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 nah disel dont have cats , too much particles in them , would clog up immediatly. i reckon diesel bug could have taken hold .. shits annoying ...it they have a type ( some ) of a cat called a DPF ( diesel particulate filters ), been around for yrs but are hitting our shores by the boat load now if it is fuel bug use a treatment called fuel biocide ( whats your addy i will flick you some if needed ), use the 100ml bottle evry third or fourth full at the servo, like mongol said would pay if your keeping it for a long term is to whip the injectors out get them serviced too diesel injectors get a nailing and do break down after awhile k's/hours of use it has a bosch diesel fuel injection pump on it aye? how are they driven? long shot but if its gear or belt driven would it be possible for them to slip a tooth, through the fuel timming out? changing the subject quickly as i know with some of the new holland tractors now the injector bump has to be 180degree out from tdc, etc tec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted March 16, 2010 Author Share Posted March 16, 2010 Edited first post but here is the edit: 4) Had the lift pump off and checked that it jizzes out fuel when hand primed, i couldn't see any diesel bug at this end I'll get new filters and blow the lines out tomorrow and check to see if there is any bug at the tank end. The old mans disco has something that looks like a cat. I'll see what stag say about injectors. Yep the pump is Bosch VE which seems pretty well known, no idea how it is driven. I pulled the intercooler hoses off and they are clean. EGR has been assholed. more edit: thanks you awesome cunts for replying so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGR has been assholed. if it was a tooth out there would be white smoke EVERYWHERE . only take like 1 deg out for it to start smoking . also with dpf yea quite a few trucks have them and weve been told horror stories about people not using low ash oil in the engine and those clogging up in 200km ..boom 10g thanks . work well though, in other countries that have far worse pollution the air that comes out of the exhaust is actually cleaner then the stuff that went in haha more edit: thanks you awesome cunts for replying so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 I replaced the fuel filter, blew out the lines to the tank and cleaned out the water seperator. The seperator was full of chocolate mousse and un flavoured jelly No change that i could notice. I have been reading about these pumps and how to adjust them, i might give it a little tweak here and there and report back tomorrow.

FLAWLES Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 does sound like you have the diesel bug you want some fuel treatment before you have a fiddle? most marine shops have it, its called fuel biocide in a white container screw them on price as they buy it for $6.95 and sell it for $20...............lol they buy it all of the same nz supplier as i do, good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 I'll roll to bnt tomorrow and give them a bj for some bug treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Daddy says pump timing / pump could be knackered / restricted fuel flow, engine timing could be result of low compressions. 450 min 500psi is good for that motor apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UTERUS Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Fuck, 450psi? That way heaps more psi than i have, i called stag and he said 300psi is okish. Even the workshop manual won't tell me what it should be, fml. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAWLES Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 in my restless sleep last nite i dreamt/thought of meany things one of which was......... you dont have something stupid like a one way fuel valve on the feed line to either the fuel pump or injector pump do you? god i cant even count on my hand how many times i have had one of those cheap arse homo valves break up and jam the fuel line half open on me alot of places put them in for easy/fast starts as the fuel doesnt return to the tank just a thought you may not have one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 they have a type ( some ) of a cat called a DPF ( diesel particulate filters ), been around for yrs but are hitting our shores by the boat load now as the name implies the DPF is a filter, not a catalytic converter in any way. A DPF simply filters carbon (soot) particles, and usually has a system to burn them off and clean the filter. A cat hosts a chemical reaction that changes the toxicity of the exhaust gas Some diesels do have a type of cat, which reduce CO emissions, these will become more common, they dont reduce NOx emissions like a conventional cat though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some shiz that kills bug today, i cbf anymore i'm going to get stag 4x4 to see what the deal is with it. Thanks for all the help guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CXGPWR Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Check to see if there is a inline filter under the bolt to pump, my one kept blocking on the courier, cleaned it out & milez more power. From a little mesh bastard thats the size of SFA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UTERUS Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Checked for any other filters etc and the only seems to be in the engine bay. Checked accelerator movement, get full pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Checked for any other filters etc and the only seems to be in the engine bay.Checked accelerator movement, get full pedal. but does full pedal travel equal complete rotation of the throttle spindle on the injector pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
