Fuel Return Pipes

[camel_landy]

Does anyone know the size of the braided fuel return pipes on the 'L' Series engine?

Garry??

Are you talking about the little pipes from each injector or the main line back to the tank?

Well if it the pipes from the injectors you are in luck. I had to replace them a couple of years back and came across the left over pipe last week and threw it out but the thought it might come in handy so retrieved it.

It is a special piece of rubber tube that is fabric covered and made specific for the task. I bought it from a diesel specialist and was expensive at $30 a meter.

Measuring it, it has an internal diameter of 3 mm and an external diameter (rubber) is 7mm then it has the woven cover around it.

I have no idea about the main return line to the tank.

Garry... If anyone was going to know, it would be you.

Thanks for that as it is indeed the little braided bits between the injectors that I need to replace.

The rubber has started to perish on mine, so I need to replace. I've done a temp fix, as the missus needed to go out in it today but I want to go & get the bits to fix later.

If I remember correctly, like all things on the Freelander, they are a pain to put on. But then the Freelander engine bay is a pleasure to work in compared to the RRS.

Well, with a liberal coating of diesel, it shouldn't be too bad.

Mind you, the main coolant hose let go earlier, so I've got something else to replace while the cover is off!

Been there done that too - the new hose was no longer one piece with and now has proper T pieces and clamps - very cheap from Landrover as well. Independents only carried the older hose at a much higher price.

Useful to know...

One of the guys I work with also runs a salvage yard, so have just picked up one for a couple of £££.
