Defender TD5 won't Start??????

I read a book about the SAS in Afganistan and frozen fuel was the most common problem.In the end they ran them on straight jet fuel and that fixed it.In the book they mentioned that the Yanks were impressed and the Brits even more so about the rovers they have. Pat

No "alpine" diesel here in kalgoorlie, just "bio".

OK .. not quiet started every time, but definately not as tortuous as before so the inertia switch did something.

Basically should stop the flammable stuff from reaching your engine( or worse) in the event of a prang.

A big thump off road may trigger it,, and a dickey one could start to trigger with too light a bump.
