    It's the petrol INSIDE the pump that cools it.
    Agreed.

    I was referring to the Land Rover Driver's manual, which says not to allow the fuel to fall below a quarter of a tank. I imagine this was in case the pump starved when on an incline. In any case, it is desirable to keep any submersible pump submersed,

    Great Thread all!

    My D1's fuel figures are shocking! It seems to average 30L/100km with the worst I've had being 300km from a 130L long range tank!! (just for Ron - 43L/100km) That was when towing the camper and doing some beach work.

    ...if it didn't sound so good, I'd be considering going diesel!! ....although this thread has given me some hope!

    Yeah, I'll do that. They rebuilt my diffs (ARB's, new bearings + CW&P) and did a great job! ....the D3 will be going there soon for a service, so I'll book the D1 in for a look too.

    I thought it was so you dont get any air in the fuel line, apparently the EFI's dont like it and backfire, or can?
