Originally had contaminated diesel in tank. i removed the tank, flushed it with fresh diesel and refilled it with new diesel after i refitted the tank. changed the fuel filter, primed and bled the filter and up to the fuel return hose on the injector pump. now struggle to start it and it dies after a short while, feels like something is stopping the fuel flow.

This system should be self priming, however if it did run out of fuel, I highly recommend changing the filters.After doing so have an assistant turn key to run as you listen for fuel lift pump running,(under drivers side floor attached to frame, one of the fuel filters is part of pump,the other filter is on top of engine) Could have hurt pump by running dry. They are notorious for hard start after filter change and/or out of fuel.Hope this helps.

It could be a faulty ignition module or igniter in the distributor. Ask an auto electrician to verify it and change it. jw

you simply have to bleed the fuel lines...
to do that just loose up the line and have someone rotate the engine until you have some fuel going there...
make sure that your fuel filter is full because you will do this for nothing...
it should only take like 5 minutes of bleeding...
SOURCE: how much oil will a ford escort van 1.8 diesel
if you have the owners manual-look in the index for oil capacity, or fluid capacities. that should inform you of the oil type and capacity (if you change the filter as well, it will prob. take another half-quart or so. the manual should inform you.
if no manual get on ford website, and search for escort 1.8L diesel van. precede with the year of model.it may inquire whether you have a/c, 4wd, etc. may need more oil, if so.
good luck!
Testimonial: "already looked in the manual, it only says fuel tank capacity not my oil, but yes i shall try the ford website. ive a feeling its around 5 litres."
