Diesel Engine Trouble

[mbulriss]

Doug,

What? Did I miss that you sold Pokey? What's the Thomas 37'? A
schoolie conversion? No offense intended.

injector pump next. When the lift pump starts to fail it starves the
injector pump, causing premature wear from lack of lubrication
(compounded by the ULSD that we now run). If you start to notice poor
fuel economy, you might get your injector pump pressures checked, just
to avoid walkin' again.

changed filters, air and fuel, cleaned injectors, checked for
codes(none) etc, etc. It quit Sunday land left me walk'n. The problem
was the fuel lift pump was running but not supplying adequate fuel. I
replaced the pump and it runs like new. This problem was similar to
the one I had on my Kubota Genset. FWIW
