Pull your fuel pump. You probably have a bad gasket.

As for cutting out on idle, plugged jets, float valves .....


Report back and post pics.

The old rubber does not like sitting, and the Ethanol (current) fuels, eats older rubber.

Pictures, of the truck, power plant and all Data Plates will help...
and a more concise rundown of the simptoms will help us to point you in the right direction.

Antoni's truck is fitted with a multifuel engine. He is swatting the tms and the s.s. site for help and tuition.
Seems (according to his father) that the oil sump is diluted bad! and there is a fuel leak from underneath the fuel pump.
I advised them it could be the fuel shut off seal? or the F.D.C.? and also (or and) the pre start ingiter system?
It is a very nice truck, He had problems posting the pictures.

i will find a cable and get pictures on asap,i have a hard time working onit as i work in west london 8-6 and the truck is currently in the hertfordshire area,so it can take time, i got the truck back to london from wales on saturday night and it seemed to run very well apart from the cutting out on idle. The previous owner of the truck said it is difficult to start once hot.... she failed on the M1 due to some ignaramous jackass cutting my dad up in traffic, the truck cranked for roughly 20-40 seconds before firing. i will be at the truck tomorow and ill take photos and videos,

thanks
