im having truble starting my van put a new disle filter on and filled it up with diesl and it started. but when i turn it off it wont start again unless i takt the filter off and top the filter up as it seens to be lossing about 2inch from the top and runing lumpy for 2minits then sweet as a nut but rev it and its got dead spots any idears ???
for got to say its a transit 2.4di on a 06 plate

you got a air leak proberbly from the top seal on the new filter..
Was it a genuine ford filter if not that could be your problem as many cheap filters dont seal correctly.. either that or fuel pipe is split just before the filter on the bulkhead.

[drnew1664]

thankyou for your fast reply i was thinking of joining the to pipes to by pass the filter to try and rule out the seal on the filter its unpart same as the one that come off buddy. to cut a long story short i broke down RAC come out and said it was the egr valve so i put a new one on cost £222 and dun that my self then took it to a garage that dus my mot thay took off the code for the egr valve on there laptop. and put a filter on as well and put flush in the tank n that cost me £110 im sure it must of bin a air leak cos when i put the new egr valve on it was no beter than the old one realy. im trying to fix this with a little help from you guys so eny help would be fantastic thankyou for reading guys chin up its nice when people try n help each othere

[drnew1664]

eny one in or near reading that can help or no someone that can help of course i will pay them i need to get this dun asap i stand to lose my roof over my head
if i dont get it dun soon cos i use it to try n earn monney its the only way i can earn eny thing

[MinorMatt]

Its got be be an airleak and as Jay says its normally seals on the fuel filter

[drnew1664]

can i join the pips and by pass the filter and filter houseing if i join them with a bit of pipe wont the presher just blow the plastic pipe off that im joining them with tho ???? i would just like to no is there eny way that i can test the filter and filter houseing if i take it all off .

[jay]

join the pipes together and any crap in the tank will go to the pump and bugger that up..filter top bit can crack and leak but usually when they crack u can see fuel coming out when u press the primer(thats if yours has a primer)
dont trust unipart/partco filters as last 2 i had leaked round the seal(1 was transit filter as well mk6 fwd other was mitsu l200)

[drnew1664]

thanks jay

so crap dont go to the pump can i put a pipe on the feed and run diesl from a clean can so i no its clean

is there eny way i can test the filter and houseing if i take it off its got 4 pipes to on each side of the houseing can i take them off put pipes on the end n cap them off leave one open n put n air line on it n see if i can ear air comeing out ?????

i up dated my van a bit so i wont have truble wish i dident get rid of my old one now

Easiest way is to spray wd40 over the housing. If it starts running better then its cracked. check all plastic pipes. ive had same problem on my ldv recently, put a new filter on and seems to be ok fingers crossed!!

[APH]

As gingerbob says, but I use carb cleaner as it seems to work better ( and yes the filter housings letting in air is a very common occurence on these vans), however if you want to try bypassing the filter altogether proceed as follows:

Yes you can run from a can to try it. Get yourself a hand fuel primer from a motor factors (should be less than £10) then remove the two left hand pipes. Use clear tube to the diesel can. Connect the primer to the tube from can to the front one of the two pipes, arrow facing towards the ford pipe. run a streight length of tube from the other pipe to the can. Ignore the two pipes still on the filter as these come from the tank. crack injector nuts loose, (19mm) then pump primer untill fuel escapes from around one or maybe two injectors, keep pumping until no more air bubbles come out, then tighten that injector / injectors. either very quickly blip the starter to shift engine but NOT start it, or use a 15mm socket on the very bottom crank pulley to rotate the engine about half a turn clockwise. Pump primer again and you should get fuel from another injector...nip this up, repeat until you have done all 4 injectors (takes about 2 mins to do...and about 40mins to try and explain it!!) after yu have bled all injectors, keep pumping primer until no air bubbles appear in the other clear tube going back to the can, then start the van. (be prepared for a little extra cranking / rough running to start with) immediately on getting it running properly, increase the revs to a fast idle (about half inch of pedal movement) and hold there for a least 2 minutes. After this allow the van to idle, inspect the clear return tube agian for signs of air bubbles (very very tiny ones are no real issue) If all is ok then the van should now run / rev as normal.

[drnew1664]

orderd and fitted its running grate. im not sure if this is right tho on the filter houseing theres a yellow thing and it half full of diesel
it this right ???? i only need to sort this im sure the one never had that i thort that was the problem with the old one cos that one was half full to !!!!!
im worryed its not right or is it a sign that it not right

[APH]

ignore it, its the filter minder (supposed to show when filter wants changing) they are NOT accurate anyway. Dosent matter where the fuel level is in it
