First start of the day

glow plugs may help but running the tank low will drag all the crap to the filter which will cause the problems you have i would fit glow plugs renew the filter again and drive with at least a 1/4 tank i never let my tank go below 1/4 to avoid the crap in the bottom of tank being brought up to the filter hope this helps

After running my Maverick on Waste Veg Oil I really really clogged up my system and ended up having to get into the tank and needed to clear out my swirl chamber due to connifer needles and all sorts of other gunk that had got stuck in it and as a result was restricting the fuel flow causing the engine to starve.

Driving it was like having a piggy back from a Kangaroo smoking a pipe!!!!

Have a look at this post from my Maverick progress thread;

Be very very very very very very careful with the bolts that secure the sender unit to the top of the tank, if they've not been removed before it will be 50/50 as to whether they will snap off into the tank :doh

Soak the hell out of them before you go near them and I know it sounds stupid but make sure you have the right sized socket on them, I've seen 2 different sizes of bolts now across the eras of Terrano's

The bolts that hold the inspection panel to the floor are also prone to snap off too but a little more forgiving as I have been able to save the day before by going in underneath winding it out with a pair of needle nosed lockable grips :thumb2

Went back over previous things I had to done to see if I could figure out my missfire/eml issue. So on removing the tank inspection plate I found a wet patch!
So i removed the sender to get a good look. It seems that running veg had caused a build up of gunk on the top of the tank that mates with the bottom of the sender.
Scrapped and cleaned the top best I could with a wallpaper scrappe, cleaned the all the old veg oil off the large rubber o-ring and bottom of sender unit.
Cleaned that cup that sits on the bottom of the pick up pipes which was filled with dirt and residue.
Had a look around the tank as it was nearly empty. No debris floating about but stained the same as i had seen in one of Banshees threads. So put it all back together with the hope that it would help.
This morning was cold so took longer to fire up, rough for a few second but went straight to normal idle. When cold there was no issues with revs of the eml coming on. So seems it was a combination of dragging in air through the tank seal and blockages in the pickup. Shes running lovely now so well pleased!

may be worth changing fuel filter after a few days just in case it brings any residue from tank to filter then all should be fine just something i would do myself in your situation:thumb2
