| 1210135 | 2011-06-17 23:02:00 | Hi all My Toyoace diesel 2.8 has sat for a long time and has not been started in 7 months. Don't know if this will damage the engine in any way when I try to start it so I was wondering if any experts out there can offer any advise. Should I change the oil first? Try to crank it over without starting to build up oil pressure? Thanks |

Wait for Surfer Joe (PF1 member) to reply for advice, he knows and experienced tons about engines and their systems. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||

| 1210139 | 2011-06-18 04:24:00 | +1 for Prefect ... diesels are pretty robust ... if it doesn't start, then start checking things off the list. | SP8's (9836) | ||

Thanks if its anything like mine you may need to pump on the primer to get the fuel back up. if it doesn't start you may have to loosen (not take off) an injector pipe a bit and crank it over to get the air out of the lines. |

| 1210143 | 2011-06-18 11:20:00 | let it idle for a while as well before driving it. Once its up to temp etc give it a check over for pressure, oil temps etc and then give it a good solid run to clean it out a bit. Then it would be a good time for a service I guess |

| 1210144 | 2011-06-19 02:24:00 | As far as I know the diesel should be fine in the tank, it sits around for a long time in generators etc but like others have said just start it. It won't explode! | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
