one for the d-max owners. Follow up to thread 76639

Hi Stumbly

I wouldn't have offered to pin it to his forehead, I would have just done it. When this little black duck gets angry, 'specially from a d-head from a dealership accusing or suggesting the problem is MY fault... well, stand back!

Hope it all works out well

Cheers, Dave

Hi Keith,
You're lucky you were able to absolutely prove that it was impossible for water to have contaminated your fuel (on your part, anyway).
I wonder how many other poor sods get rejected by dealers using that excuse.
A bit like Nissan and their clutches.
Well done!

This has been interesting reading. My DMAX also developed a problem after 7000k's which went away after the dealer cleared the error codes and told me "just a computer glitch". It then resurfaced with a vengeance to the point of being almost undrivable at around 35,000K's. A quick check of fuel sample by my mechanic (Total Care 4WD in Sydney i unashamedly mention) indicated some sort of contaminate, most likely acetone or thinners, in the fuel. After the shocking experience at the dealer the first time, i went straight to Isuzuute head office in QLD and ended up speaking to the GM. He was extremely helpful and that day i got a call from a very contrite dealer here in Sydney saying that Isuzu were sending him a new fuel regulator which would be fitted under warranty. That was done about 500K's ago now and so far no further issues. No mention was ever made of the fuel pump and i don't think they were game to try anything on like blame games.
