Please help my 6.5td RV, going away in 3 weeks
Hi everyone
got a problem that i thought id sorted last time it appeared but its now worse
got a mechanical pump 6.td in an RV
When first bought it in 2012 it started ok + ran ok'ish, just hesitant + not smooth in higher rpm and very juicy
last year when i went to use it i had a problem, no power, smoked like crazy, hard to start
first thing easy to check was air + fuel filter, air was ok but fuel filter was black + very very bad, new filter + it was a completely new vehicle, revved round very clean whilst stationary + while driving, started easy, much quicker + no smoke, was only driven around 50 miles, all ok
I picked it up other day to prepare for going away, started fine, drove off fine until after around 30 miles + it got very bad very quickly, 25-30mph, LOTS of white smoke, wouldnt rev nicely even in neutral but idle sweet + starts ok
wondered if it was filter blocked, no its still looking new + the fuel is a clear / golden colour when in a cup
im fearing the worst that its main pump or head gasket etc
The problem exists whether its cold or warm
has anyone got any strong ideas as i need it to go away in 3 weeks
many thanks in advance
