Well, I've disconnected the fuel inlet line to the pump and theres definately no diesel present and do not feel any suction on the pump inlet i.e.turn car over whilst holding finger over pump inlet pipe. Presumably there should be a hard suction here as it needs to draw fuel up from the tank to the filter so should feel suction on the finger. I would stick my tongue over the end but it won't reach!

Could well have been but its not frozen now and still now fuel supply at pump inlet side.

Can the fuel line to the pump be removed to check for suction from the pump when turning engine over?

'R' reg Ford Galaxy 1.9TDi Please can someone help! Car wouldn't start the other morning after a cold icy night. Turns over as usual with good cranking. Looked at the diesel fuel line to the 'injector pump' assembly and no diesel present. Car sat on level ground and there is fuel in the tank. What is the order of fuel delivery? Fuel tank, fuel line, filter, fuel pump - wait a minute, shouldn't there be a fuel pump between the tank and filter?? Maybe I'm just dumb here but can the injector pump really draw the fuel all the way up from the tank via the filter?? No fuel tank pump mentioned in the Haynes manual, just mention of fuel level sender unit accessed via hatch under the carpet in the back of the car! Your help would be greatly appreciated.
