G'day all.
I've got a sticky one for you on behalf of my brother.
His rig is a 2000 gu 3L diesel with a 2005 model zd30 engine.
He was driving home one night and his truck just stopped as if someone just turned the ignition off. No warming lights or sounds we're seen before and truck was running well and had been for 10,000km.
About 150km ago he did a service and changed fuel filter too. When he changed the filter the connected all fuel lines and wires back up correctly then pressurised the lines by pumping it hard. Ran fine for the next 150 odd km then just stopped. Now I had a bit of a look see at it this arvo and the priming pump was soft for one or two pumps then went rock hard. He then cranked it over and the priming pump went soft again for one or two pumps.
Is it possible to have an air lock in the lines between the filter and injector pump or air leak somewhere? Injector pump itself maybe?
Also YES he does have fuel. 3/4 of a tank.
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Cheers Glen.
