Just over this last week my in line fuel filter has become extremely dirty,so, I changed it and 40 km later it's pretty black again.
Yesterday I removed the tank and POR15 lined it so that will go back on after 96 hours cure time.
The carb has been sucked out as there was junk in the float chamber so that's now clean.
But, playing with the timing now and dwell and plugs ect the I have connected fresh fuel via a can and a new filter and its dirty again. All lines are new as of last year, I checked the flexible lines to make sure that they are fuel line hoses and they are so I don't imagine they are deteriorating, so, where is all the junk coming from?
The fuel pump is new as of last year as well when the truck was first put back on the road, do the fuel pumps have a rubber diaphragm inside? Could this be the cause of the problem. Do they break down? If so it's only been on there for probably 1000, to 1500 km at most. Can't think of what else it could be, any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
