So I came to the car today 06 vrs. Bearing in mind i bought the car 3 weeks ago, drove 180 miles back home and it was fine, It has sat in Garden since. And she wouldn't start today. It just cranked over and over but did sound like she wanted to start. It is definitely getting fuel as I can hear pump and I disconnected fuel lines and fuel gushes through. But the fuel is filthy. It has loads of small black particles. And these particles were after the fuel filter

Next thing i did was remove the filter, and check the fuel coming from the tank and it was a lot cleaner than it was after it went through the filter. So fingers crossed there isnt bad fuel in the tank.

Whilst the fuel filter was disconnected i started car up and shot fuel from tank into a cup, but for some reason, the car started up and ran for a few seconds.

So I replaced the fuel filter and she started and ran for about 10 seconds then died. 

 

I then checked fuel again after filter and it had particles in.

 

The glow plug light is flashing and engine management light is on. 

Please help. I don't know what to check now. 

I'm thinking maybe blocked injectors due to dirtty fuel ?

 

Thanks 

Jack 

 

If all that crap in the fuel is after the filter then you definitely will have problems, the question is; where is it all coming from?

They Particles look like they could be small parts of the rubber hose Breaking up in the hose? 

Is this possible~?

Get it plugged in if engine management light is on that will give you more of a idea on what to replace if you need any parts injectors, injector loom ect ect mail me

if it's any consolation after changing filter hose etc   there is a small very fine strainer in the tandem pump before the fuel gallery

Sorry to hear the problem with starting continues. At least I can try to give more information what she was running on.

I have never had problem to start her, no matter what air temperature or engine temp, first time every time. Even when she sat for 3 weeks.

The only type of fuel we used was Shell vpower and Texaco regular with Millers additive - this one was in last 2 tanks.

Ive looked into it a little more today, And now it seams that there is no fuel lifting towards the Filter.

Just need to make sure I am checking the correct hose, here is an image of the one I guess is feed from the tank,

but I turn ignition on and even crank over, and no fuel comes through.

I Even heard the lift pump make its famous noise but still no fuel.

Please help

I think you have the temp control return valve the wrong way  it should have an arrow pointing away from the engine

Which one is that ? The one with Clip ?

did you sort your problem in the end? if you turn your ignition on can you hear the lift pump prime? if not check your fuse i'm pretty sure its fuse 61, hope this helps.

Sorted!!!! Replaced lift pump, flushed fuel lines and a lot of black crap came out of hoses. Runs lovely now
