A continuation on the occasional momentary loss of power thread, the tank lift pump was removed for cleaning with no trace found of water. The pump fine filter was about 2% blocked with some "black crap" which looled rubbery, and some silver "glitter" on the tank floor, but not much. I hope the glitter was not from the HP pump.
The tank pump unit is not "keyed" meaning the unit is refitted with best possible "pipe" alignment but the tank fuel gauge sender float and arm, can sit on the "shelf" in the tank, meaning when it sits on the shelf and does not go down with the fuel, the dash gauge will say there is still fuel in the tank, even when its run dry!!
The shelf must be to miss summut on the body of the car, else the tank will not fit the car.
Fuel Filter.
The pipes and top where removed and the old filter taken out. It was Black!!! the outer filter paper that is, with the inner side of the filter paper creamish.
A new MAN filter was fitted but seemed to be a very tight fit, and I didn't understand how the fuel would flow thru the reduced gap between filter and filter body. So I got a pug filter which dropped straight in. I did see a small amount of "yellow" bits on the filter unit floor, and extracted same with a syringe.
Bosch filter unit 0 450 907 001 filter numbers pa66 and gf25k which may be fram and Unipart numbers??
filter removed, the black one, knecht kx87 @ 83mm dia of plastic top end
replaced by MAN pu 922x @ 84mm dia of plastic end, was found to be slightly "crushed" and deformed when it was removed...
replaced by pug part 1906C5 @ 82mm dia plastic end, which dropped straight in!
So I suppose you get what you pay for.
Car has done about 50 miles since filter change, no leaks and performing ok, but will check for crap in fpr and fuel pressure sensor, along with the fuel pressure sensor wires as they seem to flap about in the breeze......
If the engine is cranked over with the fuel pressure regulator removed from the HP pump, will anything other than fuel and dirt shoot out, like a valve or anything??
