Something not right somewhere, my 300 will run on pure veg oil (rapeseed oil) straight from the bottle or pure bio.

Had one bad starting day but it was very cold,poured boiling water over the injector pump and over the injectors and she started.

Once running no problem at all so not the fuel that's causing the problem especially as you have petrol mixed with it.
 
the thing is its been fine till the second ive put the veg oil in so hopefully the lift pump should sort it hope its not the injector pump wish i hadnt started now so close to christmas.

Doubt if its injector pump, good luck with lift pump mate
 
ive changed the lift pump was a little better but still wont keep revs up will tick over fine just cant hold anyrevs any more suggestions.
 
theres a few lads round this way with 200 and 300 tdi discos and all of them swear by removing / bypassing the sediment filter behind the drivers rear wheel bolted to the chassis rail

not one of them have had any trouble with them even when cold :D:D:D

they do however reccomend at this time of year only running a 50/50 mix of WVO and propper diesel ( not the tescos shyte as its mainly bio diesel anyway )

Up to 7% so not mainly. ;)
 
dont think ive got a sediment filter followed all fuel lines and they come out of tank to fuel pump and other breather pipe i think i had 70 diesel 30 veg and mine still didnt like it.
 
well spoke to soon i got 5 miles down the road and conked out again same symptoms so im goin to change fuel filter when i can get one hope it sorts it i must still have veg oil in tank.
 
i had another look at the 90 today and before i changed the filter i had a look at the filter on the new fuel pump and it was covered in **** so cleaned it and it started first time and drove fine ,so i will keep an eye on that as ive obviously had crap at the bottom of the tank when i drained it.
