Could Anyone be able tell me where the fuel pump fuse is on a Discovery 4
Thank you

how about disconnecting battery, or taking another fuse that will stop it starting.

If the towie is concerned at dragging the vehicle whilst in Park then remove the cup-holders and lift the little while lever on the right rear of the gear selector panel to allow the lever to be pulled out of park.

If the handbrake is on then also under the cup-holders is a wire cable loop which if pulled hard (using the wheel brace or similar tool) will release the handbrake.

Engine bay fuse 1 is for the fuel pump. Also, fuse 4 for ecm fuel pump relay control.

The SA motoring organization should be able to organize to get the tank emptied.

Would 15 litres be ok with a full tank of diesel? I recall other threads where people had no ill effects with small amounts of petrol mixed into a full tank. Be careful though to get a more expert opinion, I'm just recalling what was discussed previously.

You could get away with some petrol in the older diesels, NOT with Common Rail ones. Drain the tank and be safe.

No one will guarantee anything other than 100% Diesel including me but I reckon 15 litres in a chocabloc full tank would not do any harm.

I thought those things had a missfuel device fitted

They do, so they won’t be starting it anyway even if they tried. I assume the electronics stops it starting when triggered but maybe that’s too sensible?
