greetings i will start by saying mr.moto posted a real time help for this earlier .
1984 lc 3b engine th55 trans 3/4 of the way through my first tank ! and yes i am new to the diesel world and i am requesting some clear and concise help and understanding that i am new to this.
recently i used a bottle of lucas injector cleaner at 1/2 a tank ,soon after i was experiencing power loss and hesitation . I changed my fuel filter (then primed bled and primed ) still stalling, soon after i changed my priming pump ,still priming ,drove aprox 5km then stalled on the way home in traffic (1/4 tank on the gauge )mr.moto sugested maybe the pickup is sucking air ??or some where else in the system there is a leak and thus air is being sucked into the fuel system .
injector lines have been cracked and spurt fuel ,once again the sugestion was made add fuel ? so after 20l in a jerry can (tank reads 1\2now ) and 53 L @ the pump (tank now full on gauge ).priming pump does not leak after thread sealand applied to the threads and vehicle idles just fine without stalling but still lacks the power it had before all of this .
i would appreciate your candid and constructive help
is it as easy as 1/4 tank on gauge is in reality Empty ??
i am hesitant to drive it to work but it is my DD i need ideas and solutions , i can not get left in traffic on the side of the road again twice is already too much !
thanks goes out to mr.moto for his tugem out of rushhour traffic and all the time put in to get me (and keep me )going it does not go unnoticed !
