Diesel Fuel Injection Systems

For drivers of petrol/gasoline-engined vehicles, fuel injection is a relatively new innovation. Only in the last decade or so has fuel injection become the norm and its predecessor,

Hi

I've just found out that my injector pump has packed it in and when told the likely replacement cost my heart nearly packed it in as well.

My mechanic has given me some approximate costs of around $6500 for a new pump plus fitting or around $5500 for a reconditioned one which includes fitting.

Can someone tell me if these prices are about average or anyone have any suggestions where I might pick one up a bit cheaper?

My fourbee is a 2003 Nissan Patrol GUIII MY2003 ST 3L turbo diesel- 5 speed manual
Looking forward to your responses. In the meantime a couple more scotches are in order

Cheers
Dax

i do believe a new one is in the order of 5k for the ZD30s. dunno why they are so expensive but they are. i bought a brand new toyota one for my 100 series and it was $2500 which blew me away,i was expecting about 7k!! considering they wanted $2800 for a reco pump?? go figure......

Hi Dax,
Had mine done 2 years ago by maryborough Nissan, $5300.00 was the total bill. Claim it on your insurance, tell them you got dirty fuel and it wrecked the pump, only cost me my excess.

The pump for a 100 series 4.2 turbo is ............wait for it...........................................$10000 for new and approx half that for a rebuild. Bloody pump alone cost more than a new engine for some cars.

4.2 yota pumps for the 100 are about $2500 new not 10k! maybe the 200s pump is 10k but not the 100. i bought a brand new long motor(1HD-FTE) and brand new pump for $9700.

Some of the Better advertisers on ebay my be ably to help, or at least give you an idea of the price. Otherwise I strongly suggest that you go to a Diesel Specialist

They will recondition your old one heaps cheaper than replacing with new.

Thanks for the advice Bucky, my mechanic is working with a local Diesel mob and reconditioning is an option we are investigating

The 4.2 pumps don't fit a 3lt patrol and are less than half the price of a 3lt pump.

GU RULES!!

I have been told by the toyota service manager the fuel pump for my new V8 landcruiser ute is around $10,000. Yep - just unbelievable. Heavens knows what the whole motor would cost.

For this reason I take special care of my fuel system and always run 2 stroke oil through my diesel. Since the Australian government changed the sulpur content of diesel to low sulpur diesel this has removed the natural lubricant for your fuel system.

Want to know more. Read the forum articles that have been post on here about two stroke oil in your system or go to this web forum where the content started -

The injectors and pump on your v8 cruiser are designed to run on the low sulphur diesel.

Hi Paul

I wish I could believe that.

The model was released in 2007 and Australia started low sulphur diesel in 2009. Even then the model was probably designed in Japan up to 5 years prior to that so no way to tell if it is designed for low sulphur diesel.

I use the 2 stroke just to be sure and not end up with a worn out fuel pump.

Hi David-was wondering what two stroke oil you are using and what ratio/mix as I am interested in trying it out.
Thanks

Hillel the ratio is 200 to 1 and use the marine 2 stroke. It will cause less carbon build up in your motor

Hi Dax. We have just replaced the injector pump on our 2000 GUII patrol 3L turbo diesel about 5 months ago. We payed just under $4000 for a reconditioned one fully fittted. We had it done at dpis (diesel pump and injector service) at Caboolture. I realise this is probably too far for you, but make sure you shop around. We searched all over the sunshine coast and north brissie and this guy was about the most reasonably priced. Let me know if you want his phone number or email...

Thanks for the info Joshane, Will keep it in mind although as you mentioned would prefer something closer.

So far am happy with my local guy who has always done a great job on all the cars/fourbees I had and my kids.

We are looking at a few options so am waiting on info about them also on whether my insurer will come to the party

Cheers
