im at my wits end
for ages i have had a squeaking noise coming from my engine bay when it is cold, also blowing grey smoke until it is warm, also down on power, thinking it was the engine (had done 200k miles) i fully refurbished the engine, guess what i still have squeaking noise, even worse now, when it is warm it makes a ticking/tapping noise, so i turned my attention to the fuel system, i changed the fuel filter, cleaned out the sediment filter, and used my compressor to blow back down the pipes to clear all the crap from the pipes, still doing it, yesterday i tried replacing my lift pump, so im pumping away and nothing is coming up, i have just removed the inspection cover for the fuel sender unit (ESR1223) to find the top of it soaked in diesel, and the right hand side of the plastic housing surrounding the pipe is missing on the draw pipe, i have fitted a clear pipe from the filter to the fuel pump and there is no air visable,
could this escaping fuel on the sender unit be causing my lack of power, squeaking when cold, and the tapping when warm?
