Second Hand!! , I got It complete with all the feed and return pipes from a supposedly running van

SORTED!!!!, there seemed to be air getting in somewhere, as I bled it an it ran better for a minute then back to normal. The ford filter with primer was faulty and letting in air via a minute crack, I swapped it for the cheapo version filter and used my balloon primer, started first time and runs sw...

It looks similar except the return banjo seem to be sitting up higher and a black pipe seems to be connected below it coming in from the right

Yes, nothing has been changed and seems to function correctly as far as I can see

If it is air still in the system, where would the best place be to bleed it out? To bleed originally, I primed the diesel up with the filter pump, the cranked and opened the injector pipes at the injectors, when bubbles stopped I closed them and it started. Then with it running repeated bleeding the...

I have adjusted the throttle stop thinking that was possibly why I could not get higher revs, but it was to no avail!, did not touch any other screws, dont even know where to find the fuelling screw. Do you know what type of pump it is?

Not sure how to upload photos, but here is an address to see them http://s1262.photobucket.com/user/celtic4x4/media/boatdieselpump003.jpg.html The pipe on the top of the pump with the injector return pipe attached is the return to the tank, and the pipe at the front with the bigger bore is the feed ...

where is the injector return pipe supposed to be connected then? it is connected to the banjo on top of the pump which is the return feed.

Ford style primer, also used the small clear inline filter in the return to be able to see the fuel being primed. No idea what sort of pump it is, the whole engine was painted white, cant see any plates or numbers. The pipes were not taken off totally, just loosened to bled so presume they are right...

Yes, engine in boat, filter worked a treat except running lumpy and what seems like choked revs, did not change cam belt, would one tooth out give these symptoms and is it an easy to change job?

new diesel, new filter, no water!!!, would the symptoms show air still in the system? or pump timing off?

new 1y 1.9 diesel installation, previous history unknown, got it bled and running, problem is it sounds like it is on 3 cylinders and will not rev more than about 2000 rpm, with tons of blue/white smoke. When running if you loosen any of the pipe injectors the engine runs even more lumpy which I rec...

Point taken. I will go hunting tomorrow for the primer filter and see if I can get it bled and running - hopefully wont need to be looking for any sea laybys then

I am using flexible hoses, not the copper ones, I run the boat on River Bann in Northern Ireland, it flows out to the sea and we can get the best of both worlds :D . Tomorrow I will go hunting for the water trap filter and possibly a hand primer balloon. I am thinking of the hand primer placed in th...

Thanks for your reply.
Can you get a "standard" aftermarket fuel filter with water drain?
The tank is only about 2 feet from the pump and when full the top level of diesel would be about 4 inches lower than the pump and at lowest about 16 inches.
