finally getting round to running on veg oil BUT cant get the fuel pipe off the sedimentor with out fookin it up:mad:
do i need to take it off:confused:
i've bled it an NO water or gunk come out just clean fuel
and put a new fuel fillter on just last week
can i just put veg oli in or will it fcuk it up with out taking the sedimentor off furst:confused:
its a 300 tdi disco by the way
HELP PLEEESE
 
no need to take any pipes off the housing, on top of the housing there is a 7/16" bolt that holds the lower bowl on, watch it when you undo it as you will get covered in fuel (only some from the bowl) and rebleed the system once done.
 
nah, can i just ask........have you actually ran it on veg yet? sound like your doing it in preperation for it, no need yet if thats the case you know.

leave it for a bit, if yer do it now its only gonna need doing again after a tank or so mate, its the veggie that cleaning it all so if yer aint ran yer veggie through than it wont be as clogged up as much as what its gonna be,
buy your fuel filter now and keep it in the boot just incase she clogs up sooner than expected, after about a tank mine went really sluggish, changed my filter and emptied sediment tank and off we went again. fill your filter up with fuel before yer put it on or theres a possability youll get a big air gap in yer fuel system, only a 2min job for both filter and sediment bowl. any probs just give us a shout back on here. loads on veggie that can help yer out.

hello again:D thats it point of no return:D !
veggie is in today got spare fuel filters in boot just in case:rolleyes:
i've used about 25% oil to diesel mix
it's running really well, done about 30 miles or so some at speeds of well over 70mph not noticed any difference in performance yet :)
BUT it smells so much cleaner then i expected and not at all like a chip van
hope it stays this way
thanks for all your help

Hi

Yeah it has got one, it's on the drivers side either just behind the rear axle or in front,
 
aup mate mines in front of the rear axle just follow the fuel pipes, its bolted to the chassis
you cant miss it mate
forgot to mention beware the plastic bleed bung screws out and it it feels very flimsy but keep wiggling it back an forth dont just screw it straight out,
you will snap it:eek:
