3b running issues. Fuel issue?
(I asked the same question in 2 parts of the forum)
I had a similar issue with my 3b. Mine was a pretty simple fix but lots and lots of different things to try were suggested so maybe try working through...
Thanks everyone for your help. I replaced all the lines and more than one had splits that i couldnt see until i took them off. So new hoses and clamps have completely cleared up all the issues. Ill take it out for a long drive sometime this week and see how she goes but im feeling confident...

Thanks for that
Would a small clear inline fuel filter work the same way? I have a couple of these around but im not sure how hard it is to spot bubbles so maybe the hose is a better idea
Alright that sounds good. I definitely have a few things to work on this weekend.
If the hard line is cracked and i run a rubber hose all the way from the tank is this a good permanent solution? Or should i eventually get the hard line repaired?
Hey mate
Have you had any luck fixing this issue. Im battling the exact same problem at the moment with my 3b. Im pretty much working through the same list as you trying to find the culprit.
Let me know how you go
Ahhh ok. Ill try and get a look and those.
These 2 fuel lines that im not sure about. One going up to the fuel filter and one coming back down again. They both have banjo fittings but the fuel lines are attached differently. Crimped might be the word. Are these prone to cracking and should i...
Thanks alot for that. The inline fuel filter is a good idea. Ill definitely give that a shot. I have one lying a round somewhere anyway so itll fibally be put to good use.
Do you know where i can find out the original diameters of all the different fuel lines? I have the manuals in my draw. I...
Thanks ill definitely start working along that list.
Yeah theres a gush of air. Im not sure if its pressure or a vacuum but theres definitely an audible whoosh. What does this mean? How can i fix it haha?

Hey guys
Long story short, im currently trying to remove the fuel tank from my 1981 BJ42. Everything is disconnected but i cant seem to maneuver the tank the right way in order for it to drop out. Does anybody have any tips or have you do this yourself? The tank has been drained and i completely...
Congrats. Its always good to get some more diesel 40 guys on here. I just bought a bj42 myself: My 1981 BJ42.
Sorry to hijack but @bj40green , you wouldnt happen to have links for a 1981 bj42 with a 3b would you. Ive been searching all over for them with not a whole lot of luck.
thanks
and...
I went and bought a voltmeter to wire in today. Looks pretty nice. Ill take some pictures of the install. But at the moment here are some more photos i took today of the interior.
Enjoy
