2.5 NA hunting then died.

Went for a ten mile drive around this morning no problems, drove up the hill from my house about 1 mile and the engine started hunting then cut out.

So I walked the dogs came back 20 mins later. She started first time, ran ok with no problems. So the question is what's the problem? The only thing that could stop a NA Diesel, is air or fuel, unless any one knows better.

most likely fuel shortage or sucked some air in

Could be a blocked fuel filter, it is a ****parts one, looks very old, think its time to change as a first move. Thanks for your reply. Steve.
