Thread: td5 disco fuel leak from on top of tank

Nice one, maybe let this tankful go through, then replace the fuel filter.
N.Z. mightn't be as dusty as OZ, and the unit injector system is nowhere near as petulant as a common rail, but still a fair chance of some crap getting in to the tank which can block the filter at least.

just to wrap this thread up, opened up the fuel pump again and half took it out to double check i had the seal in properly. looks like it had come loose on one side when i had initially popped the fuel pump back in and screwed down the locking ring.

so - seal seated, locking ring/collar done up, 4 pipes taken out and then seated 100%. and so far no leaks, haven't run through the tank of diesel yet so hoping with next fill it doesnt spray out the sides again with the added pressure(?) of the full tank.. oh and will replace fuel filter as mentioned previously when this tanks empty

fingers crossed!
