After changing the fuel filter in my Series III 109 Diesel I experienced
good results for awhile but then the thing began to exhibit the same
problems I was having before the change which seemed to be fuel
starvation. The old filter had some nasty looking stuff come out of it
so I had assumed my problem was simply the fuel filter and since it ran
so well after changing it I thought I had fixed the problem. I am now
suspecting that I got a bad tank of diesel fuel on my last fill up. Is
there any additive that "dries" out diesel? The symptoms are that the
thing runs fine at idle but as revs increase the engine wants to die.
It also seems to be worse when the vehicle is heading up a hill. The
second question would be is there any fuel filter available at American
parts stores that fit the Rover since I would think that I should change
the filter again if it gets water in it.
Regards,
Steve
