Hi guys
got a problem with my surf its a 3.0 2gen.
got 175k on the clock and i run quite a heavy veg oil mix throughout the year(Yes i know this is mostly likely the cause of the problem).
recently it has been going through alot of fuel filter, 4 since start of december i put this down to the veg thickening and clogging the filter.
Now however it was lost all its power, takes quite a few turns to start, in drive last nite would rev above 2k and wouldnt go further than 20mph with foot to the floor in drive. evertualy it dies and wont strart, but if i crack the injectors it willl eventualy start and rev slightly better for a very short period of time. at the start of the week i replaced the filter and noticed something still was rite as it would accelrtate above 60-70ish on private land ofcourse.
Basicaly its getting staved of fuel.
I hav spoken with stormforce who was been very helpful and suggested i drop and flush out the fuel tank, replace the air breather on top of the tank as it always hisses when opening the cap. and clean the gauze filter that just infront of the injector pump. i will be doing this tomorrow however i was just wondering if any1 had any similar problems.
Cheers Andrew
