This thing has no lift pump, which I suspect is a big part of the problem. Also, I’ve connected the supply line to the filter bowl to a Jerry can of diesel while the injector lines were off, and both using the priming pump and cranking it and no fuel is coming out of the lines. So it seems like...

So a bit of an update. I tried @Felde suggestion of running it straight from a Jerry can full of diesel. Problem is, nothing seems to be coming through. I’ve taken a couple of injector lines completely off and whether I’m cranking or pumping the prime valve, there’s no fuel coming out. I think...

Which engine have you tried jet in? I’m curious which work and which don’t.

Yeah, that’s been suggested by a friend. Could be a bit of cash up front, but the savings in the long run will more than make up for it. I’m gonna try a few more things first, but that’s definitely on the table.

There’s a bit to chew on there. So for starters, it’s Jet A. I’m aware of both the reduced cetane value and the reduced viscosity. My thinking is that the cetane value is not the issue as I’m pretty sure I’d see other performance issues, although maybe I’m wrong. I do know that I have some...

That’s nice.

The fan favourite has been VW Jetta’s, but a number of Dodge Ram’s, Ford F150’s and most recently, the BMW X5. This is Jet A for a turbine. Can’t help but feel there’s some cynicism there. Just cause you don’t know of something, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. It’s a shockingly common occurrence...

Thanks for that. I never thought to disconnect the fuel line and run it straight from a jerry can. Good thought. I’ll do that and report back.

This is a ‘94 so the era should not be the issue. Also, I may have forgotten a significant point. After I put the new battery in, it ran for a day or two just fine, then I went to start up (and maybe turned the key to fast) and all power was gone. The lights came on for a split second and then...

Hi everyone, So this is a bit long winded, but you’ll be saving my ass if you can help me out. I work in aviation and have access to free jet fuel and with the cost of fuel these days, I took to using it. My coworkers and I have been using it for years in other diesels we’ve owned without...

Just bought a Prado KZJ78 and I’m super happy with it, but it’s got some rather significant body rust. I’ve got a line on some good condition parts off an LJ78. Can anyone tell me anything about interchangeable parts, specifically doors and body panels?
