Thwaites 9 ton dumper

[Christie1]

Hi , I’ve got a problem with the fuel pump on my Thwaites dumper , The fuel is not getting through the Delphi 210 pump. It pumps through the stop solonoid when I remove it but doesn’t get as far as the injector pipes, I can feel pressure from the solonoid aperture when I crank the engine but still nothing . Any help greatly appreciated

Sounds like the pump is gone. Has there been any water in the fuel? Not sure which type pump that is but sounds like the common metering valve stuck or stuck plunger!

Doesn’t look like water in the system unless there was condensation in the tank.
It was running fine a couple of months ago but I did replace the stop solonoid as it seemed to be playing up but seemed ok when I checked it after it was removed so I think you could be right and there is a plunger or valve stuck in connection with this. Might try getting an oil mixture in there and a tap with a hammer as last resort. Thanks for your help
