banjo filter needed quick.....

[scanner]

Must be moisture getting in through the pipes.

Or the seals

Or the little hole in the filler cap.

Is that the one with the extractor fan?

So, where does the stuff that blocks the banjo strainer come from?

Dunno but if it can block the strainer you don't want it going through the pump do you?

Definitely not

It's probably fibres from the fuel filter....................

thats a thought it could be moisture coming in through the leaky pump seals,if i hear back from lawson diesel i"ll order some,been putting it off but its looking like a whole weekend on the bongo next weekend,(banjo/pump seals/glow plugs/and two sensors to check) will it ever end ??????......

The "banjo" filter is the last line of defense before any contaminants enter the pump, anything trapped by the filter could eventually gum up the injectors....

Perhaps it IS a constipated alien, after it saw your orange wig

I'd have thought the image of me donning my carrot top would have made anybody 5h1t themselves...be they human or not john!

Hang on a mo... Nah, this one's gotta be the alien in need of relief:

Yep - I reckon it's how he/she (gotta be politically correct ) looked just before filling their pants

The last of these assortments would be handy for any one intending to clean their Banjo filter to have around, in case one of the washers goes walkabout.

Never heard of "zinc-plated A3 hardened steel" fibre washers before.....................

AND

If they were A3 in size you'd have a job getting them into place.

I think that bit should have been inserted above the washers.

I think the grommets should be below that as well - I don't fancy cables chafing on zinc plated steel grommets.
