diesel filter

Hi, I have trouble locating the part number for the diesel fuel filter fitted inside the injection pump. It is fitted under the inlet hose fitting and held down with a spring. Can't find the part in the parts book?????????? any ideas please.

The problem is it keeps getting blocked with tiny particles from using poor grade fuel. When cleaning out the filter I have punctured the gauze, so need a replacement.

so steve,

can i assume the 2 part numbers i sent you back when you first started this were incorrect?
Those were the numbers for an inline and a distributor type inj pump they show in the parts manual for this unit. From the pictures/video you showed me you have a VE type distributor inj pump.
And one of those two numbers i gave you should have worked.
There is a repair kit for that injection pump but it is pricy, $100 or more here in the states, not your best option.

your only other option is to take that filter to a local cat shop or a diesel injection pump rebuild shop and see if they have one. (if you have one in your area that is).

after seeing those pictures/video you had posted it was hard to tell the make on the pump because of whatever was all over it, dirt maybe? try cleaning it up some and see if you can find the tag on it, there should be one on it somewhere that would have the make and model and serial number of the pump itself.

Well jacka**, instead of insulting people's best intention of offering free help, just call your local forklift dealer & pay their rate & hopefully ( & i do mean hopefully) you'll get your lift fixed without mortgaging your house, you ungrateful idiot!

All I really need is the filter in the delivery pump, are you certain the number supplied is the correct one now you have seen the pictures?

hi steve,
there is one other thing i thought of that is probably causing this debris to form inside the tank and lines, that is algie. Yes some diesel fuel depending on the quality will actually get algie that starts growing in the fuel and that will clog up the filters fairly quick.
There are additives that can be added to the fuel system in the tank that will help curb this problem, these can be found at just about any automotive parts store. A couple of treatments should be all it needs to get this stuff out of the system. You also may want to make sure your fuel supply source if it is a storage tank has a filter system on it so the fuel will be filtered when it it put into the truck if you have this.

I suspect somethings up with your primary filter. What brand filter are you using & is there any other equipment using this Fuel?

Difficult to say, there is debris in the primary filter, but it does not get blocked. I'm wondering if the secondary filter is trapping particles of the primary filter itself.

Is your primary filter coated with the same material?

The debris in the secondary filter consist of fine fibres similar to a wet paper towel. The fuel is delivered to site in 50 gallon barrels

This debris you're talking about, it's getting passed the large Fuel filter from the tank? What's this secondary filter getting full of?

I read in your post that you feel this is a low qualify Fuel issue, what's in the Fuel which makes you feel that way?
