Another excellent video crystal clear explanation as usual guiding you step by step. Ta da as magic spanners would say. Thanks for the video. Was there any issue before you did this. Thanks for taking me back to my childhood game of operation 😂. The gel you found in the tank is called diesel gelling you can prevent it by using, anti gelling fluid you put in the tank.
Thanks for the gelling tip 👍 the only issue was the shogun would cut ot at low levels of fuel . Must have been the gel floating around the tank and wrapping around the filter. Glad you enjoyed the video I try to post all my fixes to help others who might come across the same problems and fixing themselves saving money 💰 😇
@@magicspanners402 You have excellent videos and I thank you always please if you can give some back ground history to why you are doing the repair. I always ask for this info so I can learn more. It definitely was the gelling blocking up the in tank filter. Although I have never done it myself, I was thinking of a way to clean out the tank with out taking it off. It may be possible to use pump that attaches to a drill with a long hose to suck out all the gelling and rubbish at bottom of the tank through the opening of the top of the tank. A wet and dry vacuum would also work. Would it be possible when you have time to make a cold start up video filming the tachometer with fan off. Then move to filming the engine running preferably with the cover off as i want to see if its running smoothly and compare it to another pajero as they are called here. Thanks in advance, alternately please feel free to ask me any questions about your car.
@@olamabambi4193 Hi and thanks again ☺️ The gelling of diesel occurs when the temperature drops between 10 to 15 degrees here in the UK 🇬🇧 that happens often in winter months. If you live somewhere hot not so much. Putting in a additive will help like hot shots winter treatment and control the paraffin wax build up. To be honest trying to clean the tank while it's on the car will be a very difficult task as on the shogun/pajero there is a tiny tub where your engine gets its fuel from and that sits just under the access panel. You can just about see it in my video and thats where I grabbed the big piece which was floating around. So getting to the bottom of the tank would be difficult but not impossible. Taking the tank off to clean it would be the easiest method in the long run it would save you a lot of swearing and frustration lol . As for your request I post guides for repairs that I believe a DIY person would be confident doing after seeing what to do and how and trying to save them money and knowing the jobs been done . Here in the UK there are some garages that cut corners or don't even do what there ment to when repairing peoples vehicles. The only way to be sure it's done is to do it yourself or watch the garages from a display area. I will post more videos as more items get repaired but soon will be moving to the shogun sport 2.4 diesel ⛽️ 😀
Hi mate, firstly, great videos! Also watching your fuel gauge sender unit replacement video alongside this one. My question/questions... would an issue / blockage with the stack pipe prevent fuel being drawn through to the fuel pump & filter? Priming the fuel filter doesn't currently work but I'm not sure if they have a lift pump at the tank end or if the suction stack pipe replaces the need for a lift pump? The car was down on power intermittently prior to now and would occasionally cut out (normally in first gear pulling away), then be difficult to start again after. I'm having issues diagnosing and have recently changed EGR and fuel filter (following which car ran fine for a couple thousand miles). Any advice would be massively appreciated! Don't like the sound of the bill for a garage lifting the tank / changing fuel pump unnecessarily!! Thanks in advance
Hi Ashley 👋 Thanks for getting in touch 🙌 The last thing you want to do is have to change the fuel pump mate they are not cheap. How old is your shogun? If your car started to run better after the fuel filter was changed there is another filter in the fuel tank. Like in my video yours could be clogged up with gel waxing build up. It's pretty easy to do a straight swap yourself. Just do it once your fuels dropped below half a tank. When your fuel filter was changed did you see any tiny brown bits floating around in the old filter fuel? Cos that's a sign you got get in the tank but the fuel filter is doing its job and catching it. Hope this helps. And if you need more I'm happy to help 😊 😇
Hi mate what was the diagnosis of this issue I have a 59 swb with a furlong issue but don’t know where to start as no lights on the dash. It starts runs and drives but struggles on a hill and sometimes completely stalls (it’s an auto)
Hi Connor 👋 This was a auto too. It would cut out on hills and when tank low on fuel. Problem is the fuel suction stack pipe won't throw up any codes. Start at the cheapest end with fuel filter change. You can pull the stack pipe out to check your filter. There £177 from mitsubishi comes down to how much you love your mitzy 😆

Thanks for the info, looking forward to see some videos on the new 2.4. I don’t think you will have any real problems with it.
