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

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

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