Shackleton Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Hey, yeah I done it... still very pleased with myself I do have about 400 pics of the job but never quite got to doing a full pictorial diary. Here's the most I've written about it in one place : http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=26114&hl= What fuel pump problems by the way? You shouldn't have any provided you actually use the original pump / tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yella 90 Posted March 27, 2009 Author Share Posted March 27, 2009 i cant use a td5 90 tank, my 90 is missing 10 inches off the rear end ill be using a normal 90 tank looks asif they way to do it is a low pressure pump to act as a lift pump, feeding a swirl pot then to a high pressure pump this was the solution that devon used on there td5 90 when the removed the rear tank just been playing with a s*** load of wires, and, errm anyone got a weiring diagram handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smo Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 The TD5 wiring diagrams fill an A4 lever arch file....i have mine printed in colour!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shackleton Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Td5 & Last of the 300Tdi wiring diagrams right here via our Tech Archive Yeah thats the way to go, the RAVE stuff makes so much difference cause of the colour. I had spent about a week of nights cross referencing between Haynes black and white schematics before I got my hands on the diagrams from the RAVE manuals. Try getting your head around melding a '73 loom with a '91 loom and dash and the Td5 loom... I managed it in the end but promptly suppressed the memory for the good of my own health. I now sometimes wonder did the elves come in during the night and do the job for me lol Hey just a thought, one that occurred to me during my build but I didn't follow up on cause of time constraints. Seeing as I was basically rewiring my truck I considered routing the ECU up into the roof rather then under the seat. I'll definately be doing it on my second rebuild - unless someone here know of a good reason not to. Given you've probably got a big pile of wires out of the truck it's not a huge amount of extra work. Oh and one other thing that I found made things much faster and easier. I got a roll of masking tape and did one big sweep of every wire to identify it (at both ends) and stuck a little tape labels on them. I left the masking on them too so now if I have a problem I don't even need to consult the schematics cause all the wiring is labelled.

orange rover Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 there u go - page 6 p.s.: this is the standard setup of course - with 2 pumps i modified it as follows tank inline pre filter - the size recommended by facet facet low pressure pump td5 fuel filter in td5 fuel filter out (connections to td5 fuel filter as per original diagramm) swirl pot in swirl pot out (bottom of swirlpot) high pressure pump engine - fuel rail fuel cooler return to td5 fuel filter on the return, the td5 fuel filter returns the air to the tank, fuel will go back to the cycle. the swirl pot needs a fuel return line to tank since it receives more fuel thatn taken by the HP pump cheers spec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
