What did you do on your Perentie Today.

Have had the same thing happen to our diesel tractors.
Try to keep the tanks full all the time now to minimize the chances of it happening again.
Dam inconvenience when it does happen.


Cheers, Mick.

I drained sedimenter again today and was clean , then i drained the tank and that was clean but when i checked the liltle plastic filter below lift pump it was chock full of black gunk again which had me confused as I'd cleaned it out a couple of days before. I could only think the rubber fuel hose just befor the lift pump could be perishing internally? Anyway, i decided to replace it just to be safe and changed primary fuel filter as well. Hopefully that solves the problem!

Diesel fuel algae. Will keep happening until you put a treatment for it in tank. Not sure what they use here, used to use a product by 'power up' ex Canada, when I was afflicted by it in NZ.

then removed the small plastic inline filter under lift pump and found the culprit- was blocked up to the max -amazing any fuel could get past it - was basically a plug of black putty inside it!

Anyone have a photo of where this filter is located?
I can't seem to find a reference for it in the service manual, and I don't want to start taking random fittings off the pump!

Its under the fuel pump inside the front drivers side engine mount, you will need a stubby 17mm spanner. Good luck!

Yup, number 16. Number 17 is the 17mm bolt. Its tiny, I was surprised how small it is. It sits inside the number 17 bolt.

Wow, tiny little thing. When I'm mobile again, that will be something I'll do - just getting over hip replacement surgery:(

Yup, tiny but it catches a lot.

So when I remove this, is diesel going to go everywhere and keep coming out?
