need4speed Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Would i be ok to use the standard TD5 fuel tank and pump to run my injected 4.6 RV8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 No on the pump but the tank will be fine. However, you can always fit a suitable Discovery or P38 pump from a plastic tank vehicle instead. They are a straight replacement for the TD5 one unless you have a 90, in which case you'll need to shorten the support struts on the pump by an inch or so.

need4speed Posted May 24, 2010 Author Share Posted May 24, 2010 Thanks for the quick reply Dave. Thats cool because i havent bought the pump yet but do have the td5 plastic tank.. Its a 110 i have so i take it the pumps that you mentioned will go straight in? Thanks N4S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 You'll be pleased to hear that the V8 pumps are much cheaper than the TD5 one then I'm pretty sure the 110 tank is the same depth as a Discovery tank. If it is shallower (like the 90 tank) then it's not difficult to mod it to shorten it. Avoid the 4.0 Thor pump as that, as well as being more expensive, has a built in pressure regulator with no return pipe. The older 3.9/4.0 Disco pump (pre-Thor) but plastic tank should be a straight fit, if your tank doesn't come with them you'll also need a locking ring and the big rubber gasket. The fuel level sender matches the TD5 Defender gauge. There is also a Discovery fitting that uses an external pump (300TDi Disco with plastic tank I think). The "pump" is simply a level sender unit with two pipes running into it but it also has the swirl pot at the bottom that the pump versions have. I can dig out a part number for the pump I used later in the week if it helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingrat Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Dave, got to ask but does that mean the v8 pump will work on a TD5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

need4speed Posted June 15, 2010 Author Share Posted June 15, 2010 Now that ive discovered that i actually need STC4344, what else will i need to buy in order to fit this pump to the TD5 tank. Will i need sealing rings / bolts etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
