So i was in a convoy today driving 600 miles, they stopped at a non diesel place, and I had to go to a place called Marathon, The pump looked iffy, the noozle looked dirty, but it was the only **** place with diesel around ( dear lord i know i shouldn't have bought diesel there). Anyways So I filled up .. 10 minutes down the road, I lose fuel pressure on my gauge, went from 9-11 crusin to 7-8, an hour later I have no power and and hitting 6... I hit the hotel, take off my pressure sensor, check it, nothing clogged in it. Put it back on, 6 psi idleing. I did buy some diesel kleen and put it in 10 miles out from the hotel, but, the truck has no power, and I really dont want to drive it, if the injection pump is only getting 6 psi. The lift pump runs after a bump, but it only hitting 7-8 psi, it was hitting 15 no load before I left. It was running great up till I got Diesel at that place. The injection pump has 1500 miles on it ... dont wanna hurt it lol. I figured at first my pressure gauge was messing up, but the turbo isnt spooling up much under acceleration, So i think it is either the lift pump damaged by the dirty or bad diesel. Or the filter with 1500 miles on it is now clogged? Drained about 2 cups of fuel outta the filter to make sure there wasnt any water... Help lol ?


Dangousity
Sitting in the Hilton Parking lot .... ******.

 

pull the filter and see what it looks like. also do you have a filter between the walbro and the tank try replacing that if there is alot of junk in the fuel it might have clogged up the filters.

 

The filter before the injection pump is dirty!! i took off the cover and pulled out the filter and put my hand down in the bowl and felt a ton of junk on the bottom .. okz not a ton, but enuf to smudge with my finger, Too bad i don't have another filter atm, will have to get one tomorrow.

 

you might want to make sure you install a filter between the tank and lift pump or what you pick up out of the tank could take out the lift pump.
