Now then Folks Im in a bit of a muddle!!!
This morning i went out to my Ph1 Dturbo and it fired up lovely from putting the new glowplugs in ang tightning up any jubilee clips!!!
BUT about 5 seconds after firing up it sudenly stopped running
!!!
I lifted the bonet to have a look around and noticed the grenade had no fuel in it at all so i primed it back up but it still wont fire up!! Why would there be no fuel in the grenade??? I am suspecting the lift pump might have packed up!!!
Any help would be great

There is no lift pump in a XUD. There will more than likely be an air lock now, does the grenade get hard once pumped up?

Try the bleed nipple on the fuel housing.

that's probably where it's leaking from though tbh . .

So i checked the bleed nipple when i got home and everything is all tight!!
The grenade had emptied the diesel out again so i pumped it up till it was hard only when i let go i could hear a very faint noise like air was being sucked in!!!

There will be an air leak somewhere most probably the fuel filter housing

I think the Grenade has had it so i have ordered a new on and some new Fuel hose aswell.
Lets see if that sorts it. it sounded like the air was being pulled in through the grenade so i susspect a little pin hole or something
