Thought I would add...
Liqui Moly Diesel Purge was used in the new filter and it did run very smooth for 20mins + road test!

Now its rough...Starts fine and idles smooth for about 3 secs then rough. I can rev it up to 2000rpm, albeit slowly, and it just holds but very noisy and not smooth. Bring it back to 750rpm and is smooth for about 3 seconds then feels like an earth quake again!! Surges like the governor on my 3cyl tractor!!

Fuel pressure?? air in system beyond filter? How do you get that out if cracking injector lines is not recommended??

Might replace the fuel filter tomorrow...about the only thing not re done.

Any thought appreciated
Cheers
Bruce
