Running rough, hard start

[Ole BlackBetty]

I found my manual lift pump is barley pumping diesel, so I bought a new Saturday, haven't put it on yet, I hope my lines and fsv are not clogged up

New injector seals can be purchased from most auto parts stores. They sell it as part of an 'injector install kit' which also includes the fuel return caps and lines, or you can buy the coppers separately.

O'reilly or any other parts store for that matter.

This thread gives the size`s for the copper washers.

Where to get injector copper washers in-store?

Did a compression test today and everything was going great until I got to #7, suddenly I had 10PSI. Looking closer, the injector was spurting diesel out of the injector threads so I took it out and there’s no copper washer. Hopefully that’s the issue and I can get compression back (fingers...

These should be close enough to be fine, the correct thickness just not as wide, slightly larger ID slightly smaller OD

Little bit cheaper here and should be the same product. I just searched the manufacturer product number from Grainger and got this link.

Ok changed out the lift pump today, it is pumping good through lift pump with line disconnected from filter head. Filter was still only a quarter full after cranking several times and no start. Left filter off and cranked engine, fuel comes out filter head ok with out filter screwed on.
As I stated earlier in this thread, fuel is old, about a year or two. I did notice the fuel is a yellowish oranges color and smells off. It does have alot of additives in fuel, as I have been adding to try yo get it started, diesel additive, auto Trans fluid . And smell is off also. Tank is full, I'm assuming the best thing is to drain tank and start fresh, even with the high price of diesel. Your thoughts please?

 

[chillman88]

Run a line from a jug of clean fuel to the lift pump while you're trying to start it. At least that way you know you have good fuel.

Also, pre fill the fuel filter with either fresh diesel or ATF. That way, you're not trying to fill that at the same time.
