Aggieturbo Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 There's a a fuel line in and out on my 110 fuel tank with a coupling on each, to allow removal of the tank. What size are these coupling nuts? a 14mm is too small and a 15mm is too big. a 9/16 A/F fits in a kinda way, which is how i removed them (but definately not right!). Are they whiworth or something? Both sides of the coupling are a different size too. And whilst were on the subject, when did Land Rover go metric? I seem to have a mixture on mine, and some of them are obviously original, not accessories. Thanks Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 My 1992 Defender seems to have a mixture of Metric and English fittings across the vehicle, so I guess after that at least! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave88sw Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 land rover are very strange like that, they never really did decide when to standardise, my series 3 has a mix of metric/imperial and the carried on like this, the propshaft nuts/bolts on defenders, even up to the td5 (not sure about puma but would have thought that with new drivetrain came new bolts?) are 9/16ths!! every other vehicle manufacturer can decide on a set of measurements to standardise on, but not land rover . As for the fuel lines, just find a spanner that best fits, you may well find its whitworth, i have a few of them on my series which just seems stupid to me but hay ho.
