Thread: Not firing after major work tdv6

Manual says : "During starting, the fuel rail pressure must be at least 150 bar. Should the pressure be below this figure, the
injectors will not operate, resulting in the vehicle not starting."

That's 2175 PSI.

1300kPa is 13 Bar. The sensor is probably bottoming out at that (lack of) pressure.

Those lines are single use only, because like an olive union they're a crush fit. When I bought them in 2019 they were $55 each from an Indy. Yes I know in theory they can be re-used, but .....

Edit : Part Numbers :
LR004715 - Fuel Pipe
LR004714 - Fuel Pipe

Agreed.

However it's nice to know someone has finally given Bulletman a decent clip...

Given that you state to be from 'McGowanstan' and that good ol Dazza has offered assistance in one way or another... Book it in and pay the bloke to solve your issue? He knows his ****.

Maybe i should have read the manual better , didnt realise steel injector pipes were single use only..

Thanks Brad for the part numbers and also thanks to Dazza for his offer of parts..

I have put in an order for new parts so hopefully that will solve my issues..

Cheers Bulletman

They can be reused but you risk a leak if you didn't put them back in order.

*If one uses some very fine emery paper round 1200 (or if u have courser, rub 2 pieces together) and clean the end of the pipe, then clean it all with some brake clean, diesel whatever the pipes wont leak.
*When you fit the pipes use a bit of lube, be it a small amount of grease or diesel.

some exceptions to the workshop rule is:
*Engines with internal injectors and internal pipes, use new pipes as you cant see a leak (internal as in internal to the cam/rocker/valve cover). (Hino / some Toyota engines)
*The Ford engines used in the Defender TDCi the pipes will rarely ever seal again and do require new pipes when doing the injectors.

P.S if one followed word for word everything said in a workshop manual then just about every bolt you ever undid you would have to replace.

Given the current prices for copper I would have "discarded" a fortune if I followed WS manuals scrupulously about copper washers.
