    Red face 300 tdi fuel lift pump 97 Disco

    Hi yar,

    The aluminium pipes going into the fuel lift pump are loose (spin). Is that right?

    I am just about to renew the fuel lines and noticed the above.

    With the fuel lines, is the feed and return pipes both 8mm internal dia pipe, and is there a particular type of fuel line I need to buy?

    My disco is suffering from a starting problem (long cranking needed after say 4 days sitting) and have now found a small fuel leak thus renewing fuel lines. (Can't tell which pipe is leaking.)

    Thanks - so it is not desirable and could introduce a problem?

    If it is the aluminium pipe that is directly attached to the lift pump then you will need a new pump.
    If it is the union between the plastic pipe and ali pipe then as roverlord suggests a new olive might fix it.

    And yes it could cause hard starting as the lift pump will require a few rotations to get the fuel up to the injector pump.
