Thread: 300Tdi injector flexy fuel return lines....

thanks, Rick, I'm about to go looking for the source of a leak in the vicinity of where the return line enters the tank and will keep your info in mind.

One of the loops in my Defe was leaking.
I asked Enzed, Repco, Autobarn and other part suppliers in Bundy with not much luck
I pushed my luck a bit more and ask the local LR dealer.
They asked me for the VIN number, then if was a Disco or a Defe, then after 10 minutes searching the screen they only can supply (on order)the full assembly with fittings for $180.00. What a comedians!!!
At the end on a local industrial parts supplier I managed to get a 4mm ID fuel hose for $ 4 per meter.

I paid $15 for 1 metre of it today.

I paid the same amount at my local Bosch dealer.It's a good idea to make them longer so they don't touch anything. Pat

I use straight fuel grade hose to replace those brittle plastic bits, had mine on for over 9 months now with no problems, cost about $1, just took a foot off a roll i'd bought to extend my rear diff breather, Regards Frank.

Good to see the search function works

And the irony is I just had to swap all the buggers out a few weeks back again.
First one went, then a couple of days later another pinhole in another, so they've all be changed.
I just kept a length in the box under the drivers seat for just in case, so did the swap out while on a job at the local Bowling Club.

Pat, did you note the date of the original post

Nicho's good on the search.

I think we both know the answer there Rick. Pat
