Re: dam p38 diesel will not start when cold sos
If you are having to use a jump pack then start by thoroughly recharging the battery or replacing if old & kn@@@@@@d. Low charge can be a cause of many odd RR events. Don't expect the alternator to do this if the battery was flattened. They are not designed to do that. That bit from AC Delco, not just my opinion. It is possible the fuel is draining back to the tank and this can be down to a number of things including faults in the pump & perforated pickup pipes. Can you get it pressure tested? |

sorted it was the intank pump it was 3/4 blocked and had given up the ghost ; And i think when i have been towing with her this may be down to her over heating on hills ;; running to lean and the pump suffering ;; all done and runs sweet as u nut.. reg,s mark |

Re: dam p38 diesel will not start when cold sos
If you have air bubbles in the fuel line then you have an airleak. And as it takes time in the morning then this leak is allowing fuel to drain back to the tank. Any corrosion pinholes in the pipes? |
