A couple of pics would go down well!
It looks like something we should all be checking from time to time.
It's the same on the V8's, isn't it?

Just had my line fixed last week - best 50 bucks I've spent in a while.
In case anyone with and aftermarket tank is is curious; I was concerned as to whether the tank would have to come out as I have a Long Ranger fitted, but thankfully - as JC said - the job can still be done in situ.
Cheers

Just my 2c worth but I found it heaps easier with the tank out as you can see the whole area and where the lines actually sit. Then you can insulate them properly and cable tie them in a better position. Have a look at this excellent link. Step by step instructions with color pics 22 pages worth.

Totally agree Robbo, but I really hate pulling the tanks out of these, seems everytime I do, a plastic clip or bracket etc gets broken:mad:Quote:

Can you get these connectors from any good hose/connector shop (e.g. Pirtek or ENZED) or are they only available from Land Rover OE? (Edit: i.e. are these generic push on connectors?)Quote:

Also, can you cut and re-join these fuel lines? I started to mess with one, but it looked like there was a soft outer 'sheath' covering a very hard plastic inner pipe.... Wasn't sure what I could use to re-join the lines once I'd cut them, so I chickened out.

Yes you can, I've had enzed do it for me a few times when I have changed the position of Defender fuel filters. They use a compression fitting with olives as far as I can tell, only problem is you have to go back and retighten them a few times to stop them weeping.

OK - thanks for that - I will check with our local Pirtek bloke. I take it you are referring to joining the fuel lines.
What about the end connector clip on "bayonet" fittings (the ones that actually clip onto the fuel pump and the fuel filter)? Same?
not sure about those, we have only ever joined the lines. i'd say they are surely available, but from where i am not sure.Quote:

Also found the source of the oil at the front of the motor,plastic cam plug is half out,off to get a new o ring....
