Year of Manufacture *: 2007
Engine Size and Code *: 2.7 td V6

Hi

Vehicle will not start after changing the fuel filter. Lift pump in fuel tank does not seem to be
priming system. Bleed valve in engine bay on fuel line when pressed no fuel being delivered. I have removed fuel filter again and checked supplies to filter housing and when ignition turned on buzzing in tank but no fuel.

Any ideas please?. Do these vehicle suffer with in tank pumps?.

Mark

Hi Mark

These tank pumps run at a low pressure and don't ( i find ) self bleed very well.

I suggest you remove the valve from the test port and connect a pipe, then run pump until fuel flows. ( we use connector from test gauge which hold valve open )

The in tank pump are expensive and a pig to fit ! but our local dealer does not stock so I guess not to common to fail

cheers aidan

I have changed fuel pump before, can confirm pig to fit and expensive. Do you have an oil extraction pump?

Decided to remove the tank the following day as fuel pump was very noisy and no fuel flow. Removed low pressure pump to find pump housing and strainer fuel of slimy deposits. Also found deposits in base of tank. After reporting to customer decided to renew fuel pump which comes pre assembled in new tank (note new tank comes less 1 breather and modified filler cap and wiring loom were also required). After reassembling system primed and vehicle started with no trouble. FIXED !

Hi Mark

pleased it is fixed, interesting as I have been supplied with just the pump, which is a pig to fit inside the tank

possible change of direction by supply tank complete, what was the cost ?

cheers Aidan
