Help please!

Hi all. I'm stopped on the side of the road just north of geraldton with a split fuel hose. Can anyone help with a quick fix idea? It is the one that runs from the front of the head to the regulator.

Petrol?

Diesel?

Which model Landie?

I'd be guessing Td5

Depending on access and where the leak is you may be able to get a split hose and a few hose clamps on it to at least slow the leak

New hoses are now available seperately or a trip to pirtek will sort you out, but of a pain to change though

Sorry, td5 d2 2001.

Got any rescue tape or silicon tape?

Got any rescue tape or silicon tape?

Could work if you can wrap it tightly enough

My experience with rescue tape is that it has to be wrapped clean straight and tightly to provide a good seal, may be difficult given the location of the hose - but definately worth a shot

fuel pump fuse out , electrical tape to stop the air suction. See how .we go. Fingers crossed

Ok, not so good. Made it a couple of kays to the first hill and died . Rac is on the way now . Damn it, I have a new one of these hoses in my shed at home.

Mate if the RAC is on the way you could be in luck! I used to work for the RAC and Whyatt's are one of their contractors in Geraldton. They are great folks - Steve's a mine of knowledge and...they are a Land Rover approved service centre. Get the bugger towed there and you will be fine.
Good luck and let us know how you go!
Sorry I didn't see this sooner :(
Cheers
Mike

I never thought of Whyatts.

Thanks guys, we are on our way to whyatts on the back of a tilt tray. My passengers are surprised and impressed by the quick response on the forum
Gotta love the landrover community.
