Rosscos GQ Rejuvenation

[Rossco]

So took the GQ over to Cornell Diesel in Sunshine West (fair mission lol) the other day. Anyway since last tune haven't been entirely happy with it and was lacking pull from idle up to about 1200 revs. Also cold start had always been a bit rough on this pump (12mm one) and seemed to be quite a bit worse lately stalling on a couple of occasions and blowing plumes of white unburnt diesel even when it wasn't freezing cold.

Just got it in for a diagnosis at this stage and they found fuel looked very sus with most likely water contamination, said it looked like creek water. Pretty weird only thing I can think of is dodgey servo which could have been anywhere between Vic & WA. Anyway upshot is tanks need pulling out, draining and flushing, pump most likely needs a rebuild and injectors could be suspect too. Need to have a think weather is worth pursuing with this pump or just replacing with another unit such as UFI. Also obviously whole thing will not be cheap can do some stuff myself to keep costs down or look at insurance maybe. . .

Also thought oil feed was leaking on block but looks like one of the exhaust studs is leaking which needs to be fixed too. . . Ah the joys of tinkering with cars
