Ok I have had a problem with my 1990 124 250td with fuel blockage.
The garage who towed me in said he took out the strainer and it was not too bad so they blew the pipe through with air.
Obviously this will have displaced the gunk but not cured it.
Problem is I really cant get my head around how this strainer actually filters the diesel before it is pulled up to the pump,as it doesnt seem to be anywhere near the pickup pipe.
I know this has been asked before but no one seems to have answered the question.
Or does anyone have a source for a diagram of the tank internals.
I am running on 50/50 veg which has been filtered to 5 micron which is finer than the main filter. I do understand that this will occur from time to time and am now crying a spare strainer and have ordered a 22mm hex to undo it.
