Xantia heated fuel filter

Post by juppy »

I run a T reg xantia facelift 1.9TD on veg oil with a twin tank system. The veg oil only goes through the original heated fuel filter, however recently I have had a problem with air getting in the system, which is not good! As far as i can tell the air is getting into the filter housing somewhere. I have tried a new filter and seal, additional silicon sealant all to no avail. I feel that i have no option but to change the heated filter housing, has anyone else had this problem or has any pointers as to where the air is coming in from?
Thanks
Garth

Teh_Agent did, on several housings, leaking from the white thermostat adjuster on the left hand side of it.
Turned out to be a blocked return feed to the tank, which citrojim cleared with an airline.
