Hello
New screen name as I forgot my old details, although Ive not been on for some time, probably as I havent owned a jeep for a while..
Anyway I now have another mk2 2.5td xj, it came without the standard heated fuel filter, replaced by a universal type for some reason. I have sourced another second hand, (probably could have bought a new one for the price), question is, I have tried testing it by connecting the 2 electrical plugs to make sure it heats ok before fitting. It appears it isnt! Unless Im doing something wrong? does the bowl need to be full of diesel? I notice there is some sort of probe/temp sensor in the bowl. Does anyone know how low the temperature has to be at this point before it operates or should it be on constantly?
Is there a way of testing it on a battery to discount any wonky wiring?
I will be filling up with rapeseed oil tomorrow so need to get it on before if possible.
thanks :003:

No idea on the wiring.
But I'll say you should have saved your money and used the other, none heated one.
They probably changed it so that fuel filters only cost £2.50 rather than £17 :icon_rolleyes:

yes that would make sense! better stick an inline filter in there.
