What happens when the fuel tank pressure sensor goes bad?
Common reasons for failure: Over time a faulty fuel tank pressure sensor will cause low fuel efficiency, trouble starting the vehicle and/or stalling, and eventually keep the vehicle from starting.

What causes a fuel leak on a Toyota Td5?
A common fault on TD5 vehicles is a fuel leak from the fuel pressure regulator block. This is caused by a diaphragm and or seals within the block deteriorating. Our overhaul kit allows replacement of the failed seals curing the leak without having to replace the complete block at vast expense.
How do I know if my diesel engine is failing?
Fuel leaking down from the fuel pressure block at the driver’s side rear of the engine. Often collecting on the bellhousing, starter motor or on your driveway. A strong smell of Diesel under the bonnet is also a common indication of failure.
