Thanks - all good advice and I’ll give this a go next and report back. It’s a troopy with a floor and cabinetry so access is out of the question from the top.

Yes, once the tank reaches the appropriate 1/4 full, it tends to work basically as normal. Getting hung up makes sense. I keep the tanks filled but don’t drive this as much as I should so may be getting corroded/gummed up? I’ve never dropped a tank in one of these as I can’t get to the top side...

How’s everybody doing? ‘88 HJ75 with dual tanks. About a year ago, my rear tank gauge decided that registering at 1/4 tank was good enough. Filled it up to see if a difference was to be made and no change. About a month or so later, my main tank decided to follow suit and started always...

I just traded my 03 Tacoma with 350k miles to a buddy (with some coin to boot) to get a ‘17 TRD sport. It has 178k, looks and drives great but has some God-awful bro wheels on it. It’s the newest vehicle I’ve ever purchased and I’ll be using it mostly for work and daily duties. I have another...

I’ll be damned, Onur. Thanks for the tip! Off to Mr. Ts….

Looking for the front outer (and inners if you have them). My 77 fenders are about as rusty as they come. Located in upstate SC. Thanks!

Update here in hopes this could potentially help one person someday. Rattle/nailing noise from injectors is gone after the long and hard run with a new filter and housing. Ran another half tank of diesel through it and it sounds great. For now, no more issues.

New fuel filter housing (without the fuel heater) came in today. After installing it, hot soaking the injectors with seafoam, I took it on a spirited drive for 45 mins. while keeping the RPMs up. My impressions; it was hard for me to duplicate the “shaking nuts and bolts in a can” sound under...

Ordered a new housing for it as putting new o-rings in did not do the trick to stop the leak.

Thoughts on this - was looking for any leaks and found at the fuel filter housing, after a couple of pumps it’s leaking diesel out of the top where the fuel heater is. Could the clatter/rattle be caused by sucking air?

I’m a ways from you, so I may be interested in getting those off you.

I’m still chasing this, so I’ll keep this thread alive so hopefully it’ll help someone in the future. As an update, I changed the oil on my rig and checked the level for the first time in a month. The oil level was noticeably higher and felt a bit thin. I reckon I’m dealing with a dribbling...

No, that’s interesting - before I buttoned it up checked and rechecked and all was fine. Could it be a timing issue even though it runs fine at all other speeds and situations?

I bought some liquimoly diesel purge the other day but have yet to run it through. I have a been using stiction eliminator for a couple of tanks, but it hasn’t quieted it up yet.

None from the manifold. The muffler is another thing.
