Mitsubishi L300 Versa Van

**bri71ph** · March 25th, 2013 12:56 AM

We have a '94 Versa Van Diesel from our family. Now, I'm currently maintaining it since last year.

I just want to know if any owners had experienced regular priming/bleeding due to air in fuel? I already replaced fuel filters (VIC brand) twice since last year, double-checked and tighten most fuel hoses connected to the fuel filter housings and also recently replaced the fuel hose and clamps on the return hose from the injector nozzles to the fuel injector, i also had the injector nozzles cleaned by a calibration shop but still i need to bleed it at least 1x per week.

Pero sometimes, bigla narin lang tumitirik at minsan mahirap pang i-bleed until i need to disconnect and reconnect the fuel hose connected from the fuel filter housing to the fuel tank due to hesitation sa pagbalik nung bleed pump.

Due to this experience i used to refill the tank once the fuel gauge needle reaches between the 1/4 to 1/2 mark para sana hindi mapasukan ng hangin, pero nagkakahangin pa rin ang fuel filter.

Hope someone could share here if you happen to have this kind of experience on your L300 and had resolved the issue, before i decide to have the injectors calibrated because OK pa naman sana hatak nya although may black smoke na pag nahirapan sa arangkada. thanks in advance.

I'm a newbie here, and just got an L300 exceed cab and chasis. I was wondering if the L300 naturally aspirated diesel engine can use euro 4 diesel from Unioil without problems? I have read a posting in tsikot that the acceleration and speed was diminished on L300 when fed euro 4 diesel, though there was no additional comments on the posting.

I have read on shell's faq that newer euro 2 diesel should not have problems though it is did not specifically say naturally aspirated diesel.

Diminished acceleration and speed?

Tried using this with our adventure. Outcomes are quite good. Better acceleration, less smoke and smoother runs. Haven't tried filling up our L300 with this kind of diesel but I think the results will be the same. They have the same engine naman which is the jurassic 4D56 NA.

Wow! That sucks. You have to bleed it at least once in a week? Try switching your mechanic.

We never had once experienced that in my 98 Adventure, never once in our '10 L300 fb delivery service.

This is to update on how the problem was fixed and as a reference to other mitsu users esp. Who have diesel engines. (also posted on mymitsu forums 2013-jun-16)

Prior to the fix we replaced the bleed pump (surplus only) and the mechanic also checked the gas cap but doesn't need replacement. Still we experienced the problem and need to bleed at least 2-3x per week.

During the latest maintenance (chg oil & filter) the mechanic decided to replace all fuel hoses and clamps starting from the fuel tank up to the bleed pump, then from the bleed pump to the injectors and from the injectors back the fuel tank, around 4-5 hoses were replaced.

The culprit: a fuel hose near the fuel tank (at least 1 foot length) has moisture one end end. The mechanic suspects this might be the cause where air enters the fuel lines, but you cannot see any fuel leak even when the van is parked.

It is almost 2-weeks and didn't bleed the pump even once. Hope the problem has been resolved. Thanks.

for reference lang ng iba.

bought brake pads and shoe for our FB delivery van.

part numbers

**number001** · September 22nd, 2013 10:44 PM

How much and where did you buy them from ? Thanks!

How do they compare (performance and price) vs the original Mitsubishi ?

**crazy_boy** · September 22nd, 2013 10:52 PM

Brake pads 750.

Brake Shoe 1300.
Same price for Bosch and Bendix. Just ask for discount.

OE/standard performance naman. Bosch has no brake noise. Bendix may konting break noise. But not irritating naman.

Got the Bosch from Warren. Bendix from Commuter.
