How easy is this to get at/clean out?
-
Its easier to bypass the flaming thing
-
Mine rotted about five years ago, bypassed it, no problems since.
The wole thing had gone porous, and was letting air into the system.

Where is it?

Where is it?
Inside the chassis rails under the rear floor of the car, just forward of the tank.

Thanks, that's made my day :roll:
Given how quickly I'm going through fuel fliters I think I need to clean mine out.

If you can get into them that is
If not cut either side and fit a section of fuel pipe and clips round the flaming thing
You can if you want always fit a glass sediment trap up neat the fuel filter, then you can keep an eye on the system
-
all you need to do is turn the white tap at the bottom and allow the it to run until you see diesel coming through! (providing the tap undoes!!)

My problem and idea exactly!

I think you mean turn the plastic thing on the bottom
snap it off
then cut the pipes add a foot of piping and two jubilee clips :lol: :lol: :lol:

LOL, so often the case with Landrover parts :roll:
-
Like I said, bypass and fit a glass bowl sediment catcher in a better place like neat the filter then replumb with clear pipe
something like this
You can pick them up quite redily from a commercial vehicle supplier, a lot of series diesels had these fitted, at least you can see whats building up in them
Every time you look under the lid to sheck oil, water etc its there to check out as well, better than crawling round the back axle :wink:
-
there is an 11 mm nut on top, best to take it down completely, and empty out all the sand that has gathered in it. keep your face out of the way when undoing , you don't want a mouthful.

I have just stripped mine and looking at what was inside, the last thing I would do is bypass it :shock:

Why not? Defenders don't have them :shock:
-
Llama, looking at that I would be more worried on where it all came from, it looks like someone threw up in your tank
If that is what has been caught, whats slopping round in the tank :?
-
are you running veg oil in your landy Llama?
-
I have run it on a partial mix with clean new SVO (70:30) for a few weeks in the summer and I do intend to run on full veg oil soon with a proper kit.
Apart from that this is 13 years of straight diesel as far as I know :shock:
-
I've looked on RAVE and the 300TDi RRC shouldn't have one, it says water is collected in the fuel filter.
If that picture above is typical of what could be floating about then I've no wonder I'm going through so many filters.
