Hi,

I have a 90 with the 19J TD engine, it was working fine when i parked it up 5 years ago, however it now wont start as there has been a lot of sludge / treacle collected in the bottom of the tank. I have cleaned out the tank and all fuel lines replaced filter. The problem now is that the injector pump (lucas Cav DPS) is not producing any pressure / fuel at the unions on the back of the pump, hence it wont start. fuel flows from the top of the bleed screw on the pump so its getting fuel, i guess its just full of sticky sludge like the tank and lines were. Does anyone have any idea if its easy to strip / clean the pump or flush it out with somthing...trying to avoid sending it away for re-build, many thanx gingertom...

:welcome:

I would suggest you nip over to the defender part of the forum and ask your question there. Make sure you do a search of the forum first in case there are already some answers for your problem.
