Hi my 96 2.8 turbo diesel has a problem with fuel i think it is loosing power i put a new fuel filter on and cleaned out the water cathcment and primer pump but it still has the problem just chasing some tips to the problem thanks

no year told , nor country.
sold all over earth with lots of different engines,
my guess in Europe
1988 to1998.

• 1.9 L XUD9 turbo-diesel I4
• 2.0 L RF turbo-diesel I4
• 2.0 L DW10 HDi turbo-diesel I4

or
1999 t0 2005
2.0 L RF/RFM I4 turbo-diesel
2.0 L RHW/RHZ I4 turbo-diesel
2005 to 014

1.9 L F9Q I4 turbo-diesel
2015 up
1.6 L D16AA DDiS I4-TD

no telling year, country , and which diesel is here, makes answers
10x more hard. so now I go GENERIC and vague.

1. bad fuel, now filters are bad. , water in fuel or worse./
2. clogged air filter.
3. injectors clogged.
4. newer diesels, have EFI sensors that can be bad.
5. injection pump bad or messed with and fails.
6. engine compression fails. (a test)
7. tank lift pump bad,
8. and more but no engine or year told.

Hi , you probably have water that's went from the tank to the pump. DIESEL PUMP. The worst thing that you can do is let your fuel go way down low and some water is taken in with fuel + water . The fuel pump is a mechanical pump with moving parts and you can't let water in . Certain pumps ,diesel pumps have a latch valve and you don't want water to sit for any length of time in the surrounding wall of the valve as it will rust this may cause the valve to stick then your car may go to rev excessive sometimes high revs , i mean screaming rev's. Please get the pump checked.

fuel filter problems come in slowly as in loss of power. It it just died and will not start I would be looking elsewhere for the problem. A good place to start would be the fault codes to check for cam/crank position sensor faults, immobiliser operation,timing belt condition. If you ran the fuel too low it may have air in the system that will have to be bled out. Best have an accredited diesel shop specialist look at it.

WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOU CHANGED/CLEANED THE EXTERNAL FUEL FILTER...IF IT HAS ONE? ALSO CHECK THE AIR CLEANER AND ALL ASPIRATING EQUIPMENT FOR BLOCKAGE.
SOMETIMES, MICE, CHIPMUNKS, SQUIRRELS, ETC...WILL BUILT A NEST IN AN INTAKE HOUSE, THE FILTER BOX, AND RESTRICT AIR/FUEL FLOW. CHECK THESE FIRST

Since the power generated by the turbo depends on the volume of combustion gas generated, look into your fuel delivery system. Your engine might not be receiving the required amount of fuel. Check your fuel pump, filter, injectors, and lines.

wires broke under fuel filter is the water in fuel sensor.need to replace water in fuel sensor install new fuel filter pump the primer located on top fuel filter 30 times until stiff then try to start truck.the water fuel sensor got damaged became loose leak out fuel in fuel filter causing hard start problems, diesel engine wont start if air in fuel system or air filter stopped up.

your diesel engine should have a center bolt holding fuel filter it in place.you place drain pan under fuel filter when you remove top center bolt while holding fuel filter then remove old fuel filter then take new fuel filter add few ounces clean diesel fuel in new fuel filter lubricate gasket new fuel filter cartridge then install new filter crank engine check for leaks.

You have to drain the water out of the fuel tank. There should be instructions on how to do that in your owner's manual. The sensor is in the tank. Hope this helps.

Hi, I hope this helps...

1. Remove the turbocharger assembly.
2. Remove the fuel line banjo bolt at the pump.
3. Remove the fuel line fittings at the rear of the cylinder heads.
4. Remove the fuel lines assembly.
5. Loosen the two hose clamps at the fuel pump fittings.
6. Disconnect the water drain hose at the fuel filter.
7. Disconnect the filter and position it forward.
8. Remove the fuel pump retaining bolts, then lift the pump out of the crankcase bore.
9. Remove the fuel pump tappet from the crankcase bore.

To install:

1. Rotate the engine so the fuel pump eccentric is on the base circle.
2. Install the fuel pump tappet in the base of the fuel pump.
3. Replace the O-ring on the fuel pump base.
4. Install the fuel pump and bolt it in place.
5. Install the fuel filter and connect the water drain hose.
6. Connect the two fuel hoses at the front of the fuel pump.
7. Tighten the fuel line clamps and install the fuel filter retaining bolts.
8. Install the fuel line assembly and new seal rings at the rear of the pump.
9. Loosely install the fuel line fittings at the rear of the cylinder heads.
10. Install the fuel line banjo fitting at the pump. Tighten the fitting to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
11. Tighten the fuel line fittings.
12. Install the turbocharger assembly.

hi i have bean told it is the number 1 injector with the wire attached you might need it replaced thanks
