    For the 3.0L D4 make sure you use 10mm line. Previously I think 8mm was OK and was used for the D3 2.7L but this is too restrictive for the 3.0L and can cause issues particularly when towing. DPL retrofitted the 10mm for me and one other I know of for no cost.

    Consider making it as friendly as possible to disconnect if the body needs to be removed and ensure the hoses are sufficiently restrained to not rub with movement including between the chassis and the body.

    Something to consider - I looked into doing this on the fender but never really got around to it

    Go here

    2006 and Later 4-stroke F60TJR Yamaha Outboard FUEL 1 Diagram and Parts

    order part number 9 "filter assembly" for $120USD plus freight.

    You will get a very compact 15cm long by 5cm diameter marine water level switch.
    It will have hose barbs to run fuel line to and fro, a simple M8 single bolt attachment at the top. A threaded water trap (holds maybe 50mL with float switch. Flick the small fuel filter from inside so as not to restrict flow. Simple NC circuit float switch wired in to a warning light on dash.

    These things are super sensitive and pick up <mL of water coming throught the lines in a marine environment and should do the job for a fourby.

    An idea anyways... and just a touch cheaper than a gorilla

    I vaguely remember seeing something about LR getting upset about their installation and causing problems with warranty (like everything)....something to do with potentially lower pressure being delivered to the injectors.

    Is there any truth in that, or all in my mind again?

    You are probably correct about Landrover getting upset - I can also remember something similar.

    However the pressure at the injectors is determined by the injector pump not the lift pump.

    Looks like a good thing but I think a TDV6 would draw way more fuel than a 60HP outboard when in soft sand - hill climbing, I could be wrong though, often are !!.
    Maybe on right track with one off a bigger engine.

    With the small filter inside the water trap removed there is no more restriction to this unit than the extra fuel line going to it and from it.

    It is essentially a small bowl with a water float at the bottom...

    Agreed with the filter insitu it would be way too restrictive.
