HI TONY
I PUT MY HANDS UP TO THIS ONE!
AFTER HEARING THAT THE VAN WOULD NOT START
AFTER THE MECHANIC HAD FLASHED A BATTERY CABLE
BOTH OF US IMAGINED THE WORSE AND FAILED TO CONDUCT BASIC TESTS!
THE PLASTIC FEED PIPE TO THE PUMP HAD A
PIN HOLE IN IT WHERE IT HAD BEEN CHAFFING
ON THE BRAKE SERVO PIPE AND WAS DRAWING AIR
INSTEAD OF DIESEL!
APPARENTLY THIS VAN HAD BEEN RUNNING ROUGH
BEFOREHAND.HE DIDNT TELL ME & I DIDNT ASK HIM.
IN HINDSIGHT THE WELL KNOWN MOTTO OF COURSE
IS NEVER ASSUME ANYTHING AND ALWAYS DONT FORGET
TO ASK QUESTIONS AND DO THOSE BASIC TESTS!!!
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
SORRY TO HAVE WASTED ANY OF YOUR TIME!
REGARDS JOHN SARTAIN
