frothy diesel and discoloured
my 10p 90 td5 has had new fuel pump, regulator and new seals and still wont start
have 4 bar straight away on the fuel regulator via the temperature gauge (which took 15 seconds or so to reach 4 bar before the fuel pump was changed)
collecting diesel before the regulator, iit is slightly aerated but on entry to the fuel cooler the diesel is very aerated and frothy - nb the ignition is on but no attempt to start the engine
the dark container is from the 10p engine
my 15p 110 td5, ignition on, diesel going to fuel cooler has air in but more like the 10p on entry to the regulator and is a much lighter colour
any observations or tips, how is it getting so frothy between the regulator and fuel cooler with just ignition on and why the diesel is so discoloured
shows how frothy the diesel is 1999 90 TD5 CSW
