Thanks for the tips man...

I have an idea it was from a servo I don't usually use here at home..
XJ has been running sweet until last Thursday. Filled from empty at a servo close to our place. I never go there but this time it just seemed easier, with the trailer.
Got 1/2hr or so outa town and it started to cough and splutter between hills. Not too bad though. Got to Coffs no drama.
Ran beautifully on our first run, Fri, until a huge rocky incline. Stopped us 1/2 way up. Re-started and made it back, great run.
Kerry wanted to drive an easy one Saturday, we only got 1/3 the way into it and had to return to camp, limping on our own.(our choice).
Cleaned filter on Sunday morning and tripped round Coffs city. No probs.

Big probs on our way home, nearly didn't make it to Glenreagh.
Would not accelerate, mostly after coasting.
Very frustrating, but meh.... We'll fix it, bigger n better for next year...

You may have a fuel pump failure in your future!
Often after water in the fuel, they get noisy & soon fail.
I hope you get it all real clean . All fuel lines need blowing out.
Water in fuel is a PITA

Clean it up and swap my 0630 with it. Don't have the budget to port it or anything else at this stage.
