Right cant see it been blocked as when you blow down pipe you can hear it bubbling away in tank, will have to check connections again , they are just connected temparelary for the clear lines. could it be they are just loose ?
Also when I took pipe off and primed LP, could not feel any suction on finger when held over. but did when LP is off.

One thing I thought of will have to ask Mick 1986 if he remembers, I think it was after we had put the New lift pump on that we got from shop that stopped pumping from Tank. Im sure the first one did.

When you were testing to see if any of LP's would pull from a jerry can - how were you doing this ? I'd be putting a pipe on the suction side of the LP, the other end in the fuel, and then "crushing" the LP in my fist as it were to get full movement on the lever - if this doesn't work as expected, the LP is DOA - at which point I'd tell bearmach direct ... and see where that gets you...
+1 - have you checked this ? it would explain why the LP isn't working ..... I know it can be awkward due proximity of air cleaner etc - but a mirror on a stick and a torch might assist ....

One good thing that did happen today. Sent my son to pick the spare filter housing up for me as he was passing the bloke that was selling it. I said to him whatever he asks for it offer him Less.
Anyway he ended coming back with this,
Good 300tdi engine, just has head gasket done. so got plenty of spare parts now.

Only thing I can do today is try the LP from Disco as I know this one works, and dosnt look like the Bearmach ones. so hopefully should work on mine . if it doesnt then I give up.

check everything before removing from a running engine. Pipe work/spacers/position on cam
Good luck.

Will Do Mate the Disco starts runs great well it did until I Took the filter housing off,
I took the pipes with it too but they are to short for my conversion, will try it with the clear pipes still in place though.So if this works then it should prove that my 2 Bearmack ones are Failures.

pipe in and out a pot of fuel and pump the lever
Yes - take it orft and "crush" it in your hand to operate the lever ....with pipes connected - so when ( or if ) it pumps it'll circulate fuel in a jug / bucket / ice cream tub etc .....
It's supposedly possible, to mount the LP so that the operating arm/lever sits inside the cam lobe - I.E. the wrong side of the camshaft .... IOW - the cam then turns merrily, and doesn't touch the LP arm/lever - hence LP doesn't pump ...

Just done that Mate. All 3 Pump fuel through fine the 2 new Bearmachs are much better at it. Just need to get one fitted on bloody Cam the right way

with no bubbles and with a suitable length of pipe to give it some effort or a restriction in the pick up
