Hi Guys
Having a problem with my Eberspacher heater at present. When I turn the heater on it starts up in the normal way ie: ticking. Does 2 cycles of trying to fire up then stops.
I have located where the problem is ( I think ).
Tried for ages yesterday until I took the fuel line off to see if there was fuel. Fuel didn't run out the end of the pipe but I shook it and replaced it and the heater fired up as normal.
I have a full tank so I know its got fuel, but tried to start it up this morning and same problem. Took fuel pipe off again did same thing and it started again.
I thought it was an air block but if it fires up after taking the fuel line off then perhaps not.
It can't be the fuel filter because if that was blocked it wouldn't work at all.
I know diesel can thicken in the cold weather so is it that? I ran out of fuel last week and the heater stopped then until I filled up and it started again no problems so was it that?
I am stumped!! The heater is now working and I'm thinking of leaving it on, on the lowest setting when I go out so hopefully I won't have this problem again when I get back.
Has anyone had any problems like this or any advice would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Gary
