Hi I just got my first trooper and all was going good for 2 days. Was driving home last night and the it started to loose power now and again but then it would not rev over 2000rpm and would not drive. It has quarter a tank of fuel. Any help to resolve this issue would be great thank Dean |

I put fresh fuel in it yesterday and it cleared for 5 mins and it was fine. But back to the same again so I have ordered fuel filters for it. Blue smoke and peddle is flat and only sits at 2000rpm |

Can you run it from a separate fuel supply? |

Was just thinking where is the fuel pump located? I was going to get a fuel can and run it from that but if it has a pump it won't work so I can't test it like that *beep* |

They don't have a fuel pump, run the new supply to where the pipe joins the engine from the filter |

Where did the water come from? You might have the start of sleeve seals going. Does it smell of diesel in the radiator? |

it may just be coolant from the previously failed seals. diesel floats on water so if you drain the tank any water should come out first. _________________ www.independentisuzu.co.uk |
