Intermittent fuel delivery system problem - 2002 TD5

[SimonHarwood]

Hi All,

I have an intermittent fuel delivery system problem that seems to be weather dependant.

In hot dry weather I have to re-prime the fuel system virtually every time I go to start it when it has been stopped for a while. 1 hour is usually long enough. Sometimes it takes 10-15 mins of priming before it will start. It rarely starts the first time I crank it over; usually it takes 2 or 3 goes. :? After I get it to start it works fine.

In cold wet weather I don't have any problems. :-o

Any ideas?

make sure the breather to the tank isnt blocked
the fuel is syphoning back to the tank by the sounds of it
