patrol people...
i have a 2000 4.2 turbo diesel, 110,000ks recently pulling a 17 ft caravan. truck would not exceed 2000 rpm. regardless of how far the pedal was pushed. suspected a fuel problem. drained fuel filter and added injector cleaner to no avail.
told by son in law to
check filter in injector pump.. a small brass gauze filter about 3 cm inside the injector pump. remove the inlet pipe 17mm bolt then use a screw driver (or i found a cotton bub ideal) to lift out the filter. filter is about 1cm long and .4 cm wide . washed out with thinners and then compressed air . there is also a coil spring to remove before the filter. car runs terrific 3400rpm without a miss...
my workshop manual (nissan) gu, but same inline pump does not show any filter.
told this is a common fault in the bush ,where the farmers forget to change the fuel filters.. change
mine every 40,000 now going to 20,000.
hope it might help someone
