Q. It is suggested that CRD can't handle dirty fuel as well as a mechanical pump diesel, but can anyone put this into context? Is it at the injector that the containment is likely to cause problems? Or elsewhere in the system? What size particles are we talking about that will block these choke points? How different is the size limit on particles in a mechanical pump?

I've had two and never had an issue,it's abit like the old folks who think modern electrics will fail as soon as you reach the centre of the simpson. Pat

Yes it was those people who complained when cars changed from magnetos, manual mixture and timing controls and went to distributors with vacuum and mechanical timing control.

its never really the technology, its almost always the price point and QC that the OEM company chooses to implement. Yes sometimes they make silly little mistakes, but really it just comes down to $$$ and what they feel the market is and how the vehicle should perform short and long term.

Primordial slime. Them were the days.
