I noticed that...but not in a dream
I have a problem with my old Mercedes diesel
It sounds like fuel starvation.
So I have just purchased one of those hand vacuum kits for draining brake fluid.
I will use it tomorrow to suck on the diesel fuel line.
I suspect the fuel tank is contaminated with black sludge.
Next up...remove fuel tank and have it cleaned out...replace the in tank fuel filter and feed hose.
Order of work evolved over several days after deep thought and early morning inspirations.
Waiting on a rain free day to get started.
That’s not how I would interpret that dream, but you do you.
**If you have a fuel filter maybe change that first and see if that fixes the problem. If not, change the fuel pump.. (You may have already done that but I am not going back thread to see.) Then start thinking about pumping out the fuel tank which would not be a bad thing in any case. Good luck!
