Engine Stalls on Acceleration / Fuel Cut
Diagnosis & fix steps
LOGIC: Fuel Rail Pressure Too Low (High Pressure System Drop).
ACTION: Replace primary fuel filter/water separator. Measure electric fuel pump supply volume. Inspect fuel tank pickup strainer for biological fuel slime / algae blockages.
Red Seal field insights
Diesel Algae: Warm, humid tropical storage tanks promote biological fungal growth in diesel fuel, rapidly clogging tank pickup strainers and starving high-pressure pumps.
