Hey folks,
I've got a 2006 Foton, 250a model with the laidong engine. I may have conflicting symptoms here but the engine recently started running on periodically, yesterday I thought I was going to lose it but was able to get it shut off by loading it down and pulling up a hill while shutting off fuel with the cut off. I just switched to some diesel I'd been storing, so there could be something wrong with it? Not sure if it's got 'bugs' or clogging things up and not sure how that would contribute, and I checked the crank case oil yesterday and it seems much higher than I remember but I could have just over-filled it. I read on a few forum postings about injector pumps or injectors leaking in and filling the crankcase, not sure how that works though. I'm going to go with the bad fuel theory first, change my crankcase oil and see if that fixes it, but curious about any other inputs. If the head gasket was bad I could see antifreeze leaking in to the oil, but would thinned out oil with antifreeze let the diesel run on?
Thanks!
