TD5 Fuel supply problem in Defender Forum (1983 - 2016) Posted November 24, 2014 Right then gents, first of all thanks for all the advice. My 110 is back and running, and so far so good. The root of all the trouble seems to have been a load of water that had got into the fuel tank at some point, obviously the diesel sits on top of the water, water cant do anything but go rotten, it turns into some bacteria primeval soup, my new fuel pump was great at moving diesel but not my newly discovered eco system. Apparently seems this happens a lot in fuel oil storage tanks. Anyway back to loving my Landy, but two words of advice Ive learnt and may help anyone with fuel pump chahge on the cards. First I managed the pump change via an acces hole in the floor, worked well especially during the fault finding. Got some pics if anyone wants to cut holes in their landy, carefully!. Second when you change the pump, enpty the tank and clean it out, good chance while you have easy access. Cheers could I have some pictures of the hole you cut in the floor please, regards, harry
