        Diesel Algae  ----  LP fuel pump  death was created by Andy.MacFadyen            
    
        Both  LP fuel pumps  failed on a BMW M47R Diesel engine in a Rover   These  cars have two LP pumps one in-tank and another under the hood  ---  LP under hood pump replaced after non-start, after replacement car ran fine but under hood  pump was noisey with  bubbles in fuel so in-tank pump was checked with  current clamp   ----  nothing in-tank pump was dead.
When the new in-tank pump it was swapped in one look.at the suction filter on the.pump and it was pretty obvious killed both pumps a bad case of diesel algae growth

        I didn't know that was a thing.
Sure got a good coat of it on that filter.

        You and your Rovers Andy you should know better,probably due to the age of the car/fuel supply system.

        Really a classic case there are a lot of older Rovers owned by old retired  geezers that do only say 2000 miles or less  a year.. basically it comes down to cars need to be used

        Have you seen any of these faults on a nissan x trail?P0235 turbocharger Boost sensor?P1525 ascd function, Pa00 Air fuel sensor 1. And P1614  Chain of ECM Immu?i think its a corrosion fault in the pcm,

        No but I agree when you see apparently unconnected sensor codes  corrosion issues are prime suspects
