I'm having a weird problem with my LJ70 Land Cruiser 2.4TD running on BIODIESEL.
Last week I started getting power loss when going up hills @ around 3000rpm. The it would not rev past 3000rpm even when stationary. I replaced the main filter and the clear inline one I have before the main filter, used some injector cleaner and all appeared ok. The power was instantly back and it was away no problems
at all.
The problem has now returned when I'm heavily accelerating up a hill the power loss is instant. One thing I have noticed from the inline
filter is there is bubbles coming from the fuel lines which go back to the tank. I removed the inline filter suspecting that might be at fault as the main
filter is also brand new (4 days old) and the power is back to normal, but I'm not entirely convinced.
Any suggestions? I'm thinking maybe its the fuel pickup pipe? As the bubbles are entering the filter. Just clutching at straws as all appears ok for now. Will give it a good blast out again tomorrow
to try and replicate,
