Awhile back I took on a tank full of diesel contaminated with some type of solvent. Here we loose fuel pumps regularly to sand, but this was entirely different.
I had to replace the VDO fuel pump and sent all 5 injectors to England for re-build since there is no one here equipped to test or service the Delphi BEBE2A01001 electronic unit injectors in the 2002 TD5. Now I read about a click when refitting the adjusting screws on the rocker arm securing nut. Ribble valley diesel sent along a how to sheet for re-installation noting this sound. I can only guess it is the new adjusting screw re-seating in the cup of the push rod.
Any one with experience out there ?
It is being extremely hard to re-start, I am Leary of burning up the starter, all relays and sensors test good.
I did reprogram new values to the ECU injectors, and did re-learn security. ECU reports robust.
Run the purge sequence many times to remove air and it is producing white smoke out the tail pipe but will not fire off. You can smell fuel.
The contaminant smelled like fluid used to boil an engine black in my day 1960s' but I know they use a caustic soda, today. So I have no idea what was in that fuel, all of the rubber hoses seem to be fine, none of them are softening to the touch. We'll see after it runs.
