Discussion:
shuts off

I have a cat dp30 diesel lift. The lift will run, idle, and drive fine for a few minutes then will shut off like you turned off switch. After a few times I have to crack the injectors to get it started back. Any suggestions?

you may also want to remove the banjo bolts on the fuel lines at the injection pump, they have screens in them that can get clogged over time and can cause this problem too.

We had a similar problem. found the fuel primer above the Fuel filter losing pressure.
Check fuel shut off power supply at bottom of injector pump
Check Manual fuel primer pump
Also rare but we have had contamination( Dirt, Plastic, sludge) in bottom of fuel tank to block off suction line

good luck

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
