Lack of power/pressurized fuel tank
« on: July 16, 2012, 08:30:39 PM »
Took the 90 for a run to edinburgh yesterday and it wouldnt go above 50 and really struggled on hills seemed to be pulling back. Stopped to put fuel in it and the filler cap blew off in my hand with the pressure behind it, there also seemed to be smoke/gases coming out of tank, its a 19j td,

very strange anybody had this before??

thanks  Bill

Hi Bill,

I had the same problems and got one from MB Diesel in Polmadie,Glasgow 0141 429 2000. Took ten minutes to fix and cost about £15. Any diesel specialist may be able to help.
