Mend LEYLAND DAF 45 150 Leyland Fuel

1997 LEYLAND DAF 45 150 diesel blockage?

There is no fuel reaching the lift pump. I've unbolted it from the engine and it seems OK. Fuel tank is half full. I think it may be something to do with the water separator on the side of the tank, but I am unfamiliar with its operation. I have removed the plug from the bottom and some dirty water/fuel mixture came out, but I didn't drain it fully. Would the separator cause this problem??
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks!

inside of water seperator is a fine gauze filter ,you will have to remove small [10mm spanner size] screw,on top which holds bottom housing on to access it to clean it. also make sure there are no holes,chaffed pipes from tank to pump - check unions at side of bell housing for leaks/drawing air etc.

hi roger,have changed the filters normally youmay need to blow the fuel back to tank from hose at primer pump the re-prime to filter,if you leave the ignition on & crack the injector's you may be able to prime straight through to the injector,hope this help's best of luck
