Delica Canada | Mitsubishi Van Club

Hello Everybody, I thought I post in here, since I wasn't quite sure where else to post and I honestly couldn't find simple enough information on any of the other threads. My 96 Delica is rusted out and I am looking to purchase a newer model. Its being shipped right now and will arrive august 20th. ...

Thanks so much for hanging in there with me and telling me what to do.

Ok , so after I changed the fuel filter and primed it all up, I bled the remaining air out. She fired up right away. Kept running and I kept pumping the filter which seemed to work, except more fuel started leaking out of that tube below the filter. So I plugged the tube and all the bad symptoms wen...

Not at all

Did the van do this before the injection pump rebuild or did it start after? If after how soon after? When the engine died the last time after the filter change was there air in the filter or was it still full of diesel? Also, after the pump rebuild was your van smoking, white or black, when starti...

I messaged butch, he said it might be water condensation in the fuel tank. He recently did the overhaul the fuel injector pump.

I don’t fully understand how it works because it’s clearly leaking diesel out of the tube. Sent from my iPhone using ...

Awesome thank you. I ordered a new fuel filter, but it looks like I need a new air valve too. For some reason it just keeps dripping diesel out of it. I I opened it up and it all looks fine, even the little o ring on that screw on plastic piece. Why would it be dripping like that? Sent from my iPhon...

How do I bleed the fuel line once I reinstalled the filter?

It also seems to leak diesel from the fuel filter air valve on the bottom, I am not sure if that might be related?

Is it making a chuffing type noise when it does start? How many km's? Could also be timing chain has stretched. I know I keep throwing things at you, but its difficult to diagnose from my couch. It has about 163950 km. It usually starts quite rough. Sometimes I have to pump the pedal until it goes ...
