Slartibartfast Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 My first thought is to just remove the glow plugs, but it seems like there's gotta be some way of locking out the injection pump. Hopefully someone who's actually seen a TD27 has a better idea than I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiTerrano Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Removing the glow plugs would do it for two reasons. One, it will be difficult as hell to start with no glow. Two, there will be no compression at all, and so it won't fire. I'd also recommend removing the fuse for the fuel pump and unplugging the output hose from the fuel filter in the engine bay to avoid spraying diesel everywhere. Although you will then have to re-prime the fuel system. Probably a good idea to change the fuel filter anyway if it's been sitting (or at least after running it for a little bit). Good luck, the TD is a great engine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
