[Vwdiesel] Loss of power and rough running

[Bryan Belman]

Prepair to get messy.
 I agree, blow out your fuel lines, 	* Disconnect at the tank on right side outlet of tank, let it drain into a coffee can to be sure it is not plugged coming out of tank, a COMMON spot.  Rust build-up from 1982 tank.
	* If good, plug it,
	* dis-connect at the fuel filter, this will be a hard one, may want to heat the plastic first or cut.
	* blow out this section
	* Disconnect from the injection pump IN.
	* Then banjo bolt on fuel filter to injection pump IN.
	* disconnect from the OUT banjo bolt on pump.  Hard plastic again, heat first
	* Disconnect from the Inlet of fuel tank, on left side.  Plug tank after letting some pour out.
	* injection pump BACK to the fuel tank.
Section by section, it could not be any easier of a fuel system.  Really.

Plugged fuel tank vent?  You say 4-7psi is that rated pump operating
pressure, or measured when this is happening?
Sounds very much like fuel starvation.  Could also be a piece of crud in a
line, such as some grass, chaff, fuzz, etc.
I had a combine that ran like this, it was two pieces of straw in a fuel
line, that were caught at an elbow.  Took quite a while for them to joggle
around just right, then it would plug.  Take away suction, it settled down,
restart, and repeat.

Hi all! I was wondering why after 2-3 hours of driving  I seem to loose
power and it starts to run rough at idle and tries to die on me? I have put
an inline fuel pump before the fuel filter that runs 4-7 psi. Thanks for any
help/advice!
