Thread: Fuel system ticking?

i have recently noticed a ticking sound coming from under my 200tdi defender so i had a look underneath to try and locate where the sound was coming from! at first observation it seemed to be coming from around the exhaust somewere so i ran my hand up along the exhaust while it was running to see if there was any leaks but to my suprise i found nothing so there is only one other thing at the back end of the car that has movement while in neutral and that is the fuel system so i put my head under the right hand side back wheel arch and located that the sound was coming from the fuel line from my tank so i traced the line over to the other side of the tank and found that nothing seemed to be leaking but the line was clicking backwards and forwards making a ticking sound the sound can be herd from inside the cab and varies with amounts of revs and from outside the vehicle people have passed comment of there being a time bomb under the defer so i was wondering has anyone else had an problems like this or has any input on this subject at all? people have sugested there may be a problem with my lift pump but could there be something else wrong? please dont say the injector pump
cheers!

thanks but the only problem is the noise just poped up out of now were and the engine isnt surging or blowing smoke or anything so im hoping its just something simple that is wrong
