Fuel Heater on TZD

Roscoe · Post by **Roscoe** » 21 Aug 2005, 15:39

I got my TZD back together and running after a cambelt mishap but the fuel heater is leaking diesel - looks like the hose nearest the drivers' side. Does anyone know if this heater is in the supply circuit from the tank to the filter or the fuel return circuit from the injector pump back to the tank? I'm thinking of bypassing it completely as I don't see much use for it here in Australia - just need to know which fuel circuit it's in.

Hi,
Hhe fuel heater is on the supply side of the fuel lines.

Thanks Paul
So there should be no problems in bypassing it with a new fuel line from the filter to wherever the existing line from the tank connects to the inlet side of the pre-heater?
cheers,

Just connect the two ends together.

Thanks folks
I will bypass it, but can't reach the existing ends so will pull in new fuel line to replace existing one from the end of the steel line to the filter.
