Andrew Chua Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Having replaced the Td5 fuel pump last week, i now wake up to starting the defender and the low fuel lamp is on and the gauge says the tank dead empty. I'm sure i have fuel in the tank. The interesting thing is, if i leave it long enough it will decide to slowly creep up to the correct level. hence i'm sure the gauge is working. The tank has been up and down 3 times already but still can't find the fault. The float is correct. What do i check next? before i changed the pump, it goes up to the correct level immediately when i click the key to pos II on the ignition. yes, even in the midst of the pump screaming away.

Andrew Chua Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 Never mind the above for now. I've got a terrible leak from the tank or the lines? After starting it up, it starts dripping diesel. My bet is that the lines are not done up tight, but i though the hoses are just clipped on rite? or am i wrong? What do i check now? Any possibility that the lines are fitted wrongly causing them to leak? Looks like that tank is going to have to come down again. it's a 2002 with 170k on the clock. Thanks!!
