Thread: Td5 fuel pump noise... Sound right to you?

Are you sure the pump is running ? been a while since i had a D2 but i distinctly remember being able to hear the humm from the drivers door when turning on the ignition. Mine was that loud it got referred to as killer wasps , a copy from the Toyota add at the time.

Thanks for the reply. I can hear something but no I'm not 100% that it sounds right. When I cranked the engine the other night, diesel spewed out the fuel cooler inlet, so I think it's working.

I remember hearing of a trick some used and that was to hit the bottom of the fuel tank with a rubber mallet to make the fuel pump fire up , i never had to try it , but did hear it had worked for at least 1 person i spoke with.

Just a thought...

Tash that right give them a good bang with the hammer and it'll normally get a bit more out of it.. I had to get around in a vn like that for awhile until it finally died completely.

There are cases when the pump is running only on LP, a simple trick to see that is here: Disco 2 - Check Td5 fuel pump HP | LandyZone - Land Rover Forum

Thanks sierrafery.. I've only just started to learn diagnosing electrics.. do you test the fuse with the ignition set to stage 2 or with the car running?

Better with engine running if it starts or with ignition on 2 you have to move fast cos it cuts out
