Ecodiesel cranks but no start

[carlhenry]

Clean the sensor and tube

I will clean it next oil change I had to get a WIX fuel filter so I’m gonna get a better one to replace it. Do y’all recommend me put any type of fuel treatment stuff in it to clean the injectors just in case

 

[carlhenry]

The only treatment I use is for jelling on the winter in the fords we use it cetane from ford

 

[Shorty9311]

i live in South Carolina so it usually don’t get cold enough to mess with the fuel

 

[Shorty9311]

Anybody recommend upgrading the lift Pump

The fuel filter doesn’t look that dirty won’t let me post a picture of it. But it seemed to help it. It starts right up doesn’t hesitate no more when accelerating. I’m hoping it fixed the problem

the fuel filters collect water as well, have you ever drained the water out? Let's hope that was the fix... the outside may appear clean, but I believe there's a few layers. They recommend changing the fuel filter every 2nd oil change.

 

[Shorty9311]

Where do you drain the water out. I’m sorry this is my first diesel motor vehicle I don’t know much about them

 

[TC Diesel]

When you changed the filter the water at the bottom, the yellow screw drains the water.

 

[Shorty9311]

Ok yeah I left it loose the whole Time I was changing the filter. How often should I drain it.

 

[TC Diesel]

Thats a Million $ question, If you get water in Diesel (Beside emulsified) it almost needs to be drained within Hrs....IMO its mute and is only used to intact you have water.

You may have some dirty diesel fuel? Try some hot shot diesel extreme. It supposed to be the best cleaner for fuel system. There is some you tube made about it. You can buy it on Amazon

If I were you I would change the fuel filter again just to see if there was a bunch of junk in it. It might be a good idea to get an analysis done on the oil AND the fuel. Maybe a sample of the fuel between the filter and the tank just to see if you have some bad fuel or crap in your tank.
Just couple of thoughts

I will look into that hotshot diesel extreme. My buddy said try Diesel Kleen+Cetane booster Cummins recommends it. I know it’s not a Cummins motor though

use hot shots, I got a couple of bottles from O'Reily's. Great stuff, helps keep your dpf cleaner too.

I have a limited edition Ram 1500 eco diesel and I couldn't reset the oil change on the trucks computer, would that have anything to do with the truck not starting?

 

[TC Diesel]

No.......
