WHY MY DISCO

hi every one, my disco is driving me mad at the moment,ive got fuel past the lift pump if you fill the filter and start runs fine for a short time,then dies.The filter is empty completely.Its as though it cannt keep on top of the fuel delivery.The lift pump works fine! we have checked for air could it be the injector pump?
 
"could it be the injector pump?" quote
injector pump I would say is working as engine runs and empties the filter!
I think fuel starvation to lift pump, or a faulty lift pump.
Could i ask is yours a TD5 as don't they have a pump in the fuel tank as well
sorry to be thick mine is a tdi300 which im told dont have a fuel tank pump just a lift pump mounted on the side of the engine.
if its like mine i would check the pump by running diesel to it from a temp tank (washing up bottle and a pipe) and then starting and checking it draws fuel through, if it does you are back to looking for a blockage of some kind (sedimenter crapped up **** in tank that has got into pipes) if it doesn't draw fuel correctly suspect the pump! but there could be crap that has gone past the pump and is stuck between pump and the filter head assy.
if it's the td5 and has a tank pump i would guess you should hear it trying to pump when the ignition is first switched on as it builds up pressure?
hope this is helpful:)
