    Hi, I have a 6NZ C15 that will not start after sitting overnight but only if parked on an angle lhs down, it winds over trying to fire for about 5-10sec as if sucking air then fires up and runs fine all day. It starts fine if parked on level ground. I have replaced fuel return check valves,primer pump and injector return line from rear of head. The fuel transfer pump was replaced about 200,000km ago and is not leaking fuel from tell tale. I have checked tank pick up tube and lines all look ok. This is doing my head in I cant work it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Injector o rings can leak, but the level ground thing throws that off. If filters are full I think it would be between supply pump and return pressure valve.

    There are 2 valves in filter head. One is a check valve and other is the pressure regulator. Did you replace both or just one, ?

    Also replaced hose from filter head to injector pipe and hose to supply pump the other day it is definately loosing prime somewhere as I primed this morning only about 1 and half pumps till hard and fired up ok. Cant find any leaks gonna pressurize tank when I get home saturday and spray some detergent around and see what I can see.

    The on the down grade is strange. I am thinking it is loosing prime, somewhere. If the injectors were leaking like someone else mentioned you would see white smoke at start up, but a grade should not effect this
