Nantwich Canal Centre (Ian) came a calling on UM today.Very thorough
analysis and diagnosis.
Replaced washers on injector pump bleeds, by passed original JP3
decorative filter housing, refitted lift pump upstream of filter (instead
of downstream, fitted non standard but effective O-ring to fuel filter
bolt, tinkered with every fuel line joint & component, filled with 200L
diesel (confirming we were between 1/3 & 1/2 full as expected).
After the slightest palpitations of the Lister kind around the marina the
engine seemed in good order. A test run of about 90 minutes all in good
fettle.
We MUST NOT assume things are resolved but the portents are good. We do
still need a day tank so that the upstream fuel flow is a less likely
source of air ingress.
We now consider our options.
Beeky
Fingers crossed that all has been resolved
