Beaver Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 How to I check the water trap? I open the tap thingy on the bottom of the filter and diesel smelling liquid came out.... I’ll give all the hoses and fittings a one over and check for blockages 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaver Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Anyone know what diesel bug looks like? This is kinda like dirt sludge with flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Looks like sludge/biofilm. Won't look gritty. Did no water come out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Not that I could tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I think it dries and flakes in the tank, then blocks the fittings. Is it kind of a pine bark ish texture? I'd definitely be checking the fittings and pickup with that shit around Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajg193 Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Had diesel bug in our John Deere a few years ago. It ended up corroding/rooting a few of the expensive injection system components so we just threw the on farm diesel tank into a hole and go to town for diesel now. /ling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 That looks like rust in the photo, but if it's slimy it's bug. Sooo... What ya wanna do now is pull all your fuel lines out and clean them, remove the little mesh gauze on the fuel pump banjo and clean that, clean the filter housing, drain and clean the tank, and then run some bug kill for the next few fills.

Beaver Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Well I have to get home first so I’ll get a new filter to get me home then give everything a drain and clean. Once the shit has settled out a bit better I’ll tale a closer look but it defiantly felt sludgy and not metal/rust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seedy Al Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I think my old work did a Toyota 5L with a cam regrind and the owner said results were good. I fail to see why it shouldn't be a good idea. Depends on the head tho. I know they were doing one for a 1kz but were struggling to get shims big enough to accommodate. So thats something to consider if its shim style valves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowzer Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I'd be keen as to cam up my 3L. I guess the main reason it's less common for deez is coz longer duration etc generally favours higher rpm, of which diesels don't really do. I'm sure more lift and perhaps a bit more duration would still be beneficial. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yetchh Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 That's surely a consequence of what they're generally used for.. towing/heavy loads low rpm torque... if none of that is relevant shouldn't diesels be free from the shackles of commercial life to live the life of a petrol ice? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tumeke Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I would like to build a diesel scooter because of reasons. Anyone got a cheap stationery engine? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
