engine starts and ticks over ok, drives for a couple of miles then starts to miss fire, and loss of power, which may clear, or turn off and restart it may clear for a while. Carried out test on fuel filter, its in red zone, (it,s booked in for fuel filter change tomorrow), tried draining water from fuel filter as suggested in Hanes W/Sop manual but after turning retaining nut on botton of filter 1 turn no diesel or water discharged, but could hear a noise as if liquid was flowing. When testing fuel filter conduition I turned the ignition off and could hear a loud whiring noise, when in cab with door shut noise level is much quieter. The van is aTransit 350 115 mwb, june 2005 2402 Duratorque.

see how you get on after your filter change,if you can`t get it to drain it may be pretty well gummed up
