is there an electric fuel pump on my RR

peter8315 · Jan 20, 2015

Iam fitting a 200tdi engine and manual box to my RRclassic, replacing a 3ltr turbo perkins diesel and auto box, the perkins engine had no lift pump so i assume that there is an electric pump somewhere, i have looked all under and along the chassis rails and can't see one, anybody know were it might be?

could be in the tank . not sure

In the tank like the P38 maybe? Otherwise fit a Facit in line fuel pump.

if there is one there i want to take it out as i have a mechanical lift pump on the 200tdi engine

No need to take it out I would have though, just disconnect it. It has the strainer and tank level if it's like the P38.
I am only guessing that the pump is in the tank, I don't know the Classic, only the P38.

it will be part of the sender unit if its in the tank how many wires have you going to it

I thought a classic of this age (D reg) had a separate fuel pump and sender. Fuel pump in through the top and sender on the side.

peter8315 · Jan 20, 2015

i am hoping it is seperate, it will be easier to take out the pump, going to investigate 2moz

jamesmartin · Jan 20, 2015

either way its not difficult to remove pump and fit a steel or copper tube in place of pump

how did you know it was a d reg ?

Here are some pictures of a fuel tank removed from an E reg (1987) RRC. This was converted from a 3.5L EFi V8 to a 200TDi from a Discovery.

You can see the fuel pump on the top and the sender on the side of the tank (sorry hard to see).

As you can see in this image, the wiring to the fuel pump has been cut. This confused me as the pump won't run in this state!

The fuel pump is easy to remove - 5 screws. Upon removing what I thought was the fuel pump, it turns out that the pump had been removed and fitted with pipe.

Hope the pictures and descriptions help!

I say it would be easier to swap the tractor engine for something decent.........like a 3.5 or even a 4.6

The Rover V8 is what it is!

1UZFE - are you going to convert all our Land-Rovers for us seeing as you're an expert. First hand experience and all that?
