I have pretty much beat this one to death... checked and rechecked every single piece of hose and every hose clamp... changed filters, pressurized lines... everything tip-top.

It must be fun to attempt to drive on diesel to say the least.

HAHAHAHA you have no idea... 2 feet and a hand on the shifter lever... that shift from S up to N at a stoplight with one foot on the gas and one on the brake is a real blast.. but as much fun as it is I'd like to fix it...

I also want to mention that if water is in the fuel and processes through the pump we were always told it acted like fine sandpaper or a lapping compound. Could your alternative fuel have had had water in it? If you change pumps and continue with your vegatable based fuel you might want to incorporate a water separator in you fuel circuit. Not hard to do.

I am absolutely positive that my veg oil didnt have any water in it. De-Watered at over 212°F. I am not so sure at all about my diesel. After I got back from my road trip, when I changed the filter, some of the most foul nasty, rust-colored, WATERY gunk I have ever seen came out. I drained the tank, but it seems that there wasnt much in there, some, not much.. and the tank screen was fine... there is still a bit in the prefilter (from the lines), but I think its all gone now.... could one tank of bad fuel really have fried my IP? If thats the case I'm gonna can the OEM DIESEL filter and put a water seperating one on it... For that matter, everyone should... serious design flaw if you ask me... I'm seriously questioning the practice of buying diesel fuel at a pump too... if that is what did it...
