Recurring Airlock in my 94 Diesel Hilux
Posted: Mon Sep 25, 2023 9:58 am
Hi All,
Been having a challenge with my Hilux with a 2L engine for the past few months. When driving for some reason the vehicle switches off due to diesel starvation/ airlock. I have so far dropped and cleaned the tank and flushed hardlines to engine bay, changed the hand pump, rubber hoses and filter unit. Started filling diesel from a different station too. However all of the above have not gotten rid of the problem. My once very reliable Hilux is becoming a worry to take on the highway as it might stop at any second . Any suggestions/ past experiences on a fix/ cause of the above are welcome.
