Hi Eric,
I changed my diesel fuel filter, the old filter came out black and so did the fuel that was in the housing.
My worry is that I may have engine lube oil contamination to the fuel as this is one of the PD (Pumpe Duse) engines famed for tandem pump and/or injector issues.
Do you think this could be the problem. I’ve looked at other forums and solutions vary from new injectors and pump to buying a Toyota.

Here’s a link to the places I’ve seen what looks like good information if anyone else has similar issues.

Any ideas gratefully received and keep the great repair videos coming, you make it all look so easy.

Welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately i am not able to assist you with this issue as i have no training at all in Diesels. Hold tight though as i am sure someone else with more experience with diesels will chime in soon enough.
it sounds like your fuel quality is poor. also you may have varnish and and gum. try running a diesel injector cleaner through your
fuel system. C8-) you also may have to add a conditioner to your fuel.Sounds like the filter is doing its job. it is fine, you just need to go though diesel purge once a year to keep the injectors clean. If it is too late and injector fails, you can rebuild them.

Thanks for your response and your reassuring answer, hopefully all will be well but I will keep you posted. I’ve had a look at the injectrs and the possibility of rebuilding them (see my links) and it doesn’t look great, seems to be throw away type these days not like the lder and more serviceable injectors.

Hi and thanks for your response. A couple of people have offered advice on this so far and reckon there’s nothing abnormal as such, so hopefully this will be the case…
