Hey ladies and gents
So on the weekend I spent 3 days out in the vic high country. Done a very tough track (middle ridge trk aka Mt Sunday rd) the following day my zd30di patrol seemed to lack power but couldn’t put my finger on it. When getting back on the bitumen it became very apparent I had a fuel issue.
Anyways I was able to get home car drove fine, no smoke, starts fine, runs smooth it was just slow.
Before I left I tipped a jerry of fuel in that had been on my roof for quiet some time so I thought maybe it was bad and the fuel filter might be clogged or all the rough driving stirred up some junk in the tank. I changed out the filter with a cheap $20 one and it definitely made it better.
My concern is that albeit better it is still sluggish compared to before. It seems to lack power, needing to wind the gears out longer (auto) and requiring more time to get upto speed.
Any suggestions on what I should be looking at? The are no engine lights at the moment. Driving home from VHC I did get a light a few times but would go away when it was turned off and restarted.
