Fuel woes!

I recently had problems with my daihatsu diesel in series 2 landy. It was stalling all the time and lacking any power. I changed the fuel filter tonight and found it was half full of brown sludge! Think I might have rust in the fuel tank!

I put some injector cleaner in the tank about a month ago and wondering if this has disloged the gung in the tank.

Anyway after changing this and bleeding the air out through the injectors, I'm still having problems. The car now goes like a bomb up to about 30miles an hour then runs out of steam, so I think air is still getting in to the system somewhere. It also doesn't idle very well once you rev the engine and stalls easily. I think it might be through one of the injector seals or the primer button on the filter. One thing I've noticed is that the primer button never goes rock hard. Is this likely to be due to air? Do I need to check my fuel tank? Also where can I buy new seals for my diesel primer button?

Cheers

i had a bit of bother with air in me fuel as well, the obligitory thread is still on page one, down the bottom. after cleaning the self-bleed line on my fuel filter and bleeding the system again it fired up fine. if your filter was choked it could be that the bleed points are blocked up as well.
