hello people...just gone to start rangerover and it wont start in petrol (there is petrol in b4 u ask lol)..it will start on gas tho ....i think i can hear the pump workin wen i strt the ignition..but it does sound a bit whinney.can any1 tell me where the pump is ?????and is it a inline or is it in the tank????
you need to trace it back to the tank(i think the fool pump is in the tank) and see if pump is operating, if you lay the rear seats forward i think there is a access panel there.
also just to double check, did you press the little tyre valve type thing on the fuel rail? another check to be sure is if you take the return pipe off the rail, the one without the 14mm bolt and put a bit of pipe over it and into a jar to save spillage and briefly crank the car it should release fuel. you could even undo the 14mm bolt on the other pipe really and do the same.
if it aint pumping fuel the i would check you have power to pump first. if there is power then its the pump. if not its the relay or fuse.
DO THIS FIRST, AT THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS FOOT WELL THERE IS AN INERTIA SWITCHOFF FOR THE FUEL. I THINK ITS BEHIND A SMALL PANEL ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE. PRESS IT OR WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO DO THEN TRY PETROL/START ENGINE! ITS A SAFETY DEVICE TO CUT FUEL IF YOU TURN OVER OR HAVE A BUMP!

Current is supplied to the starter solenoid by Relay 16 in the engine compartment fuse box. The relay is supplied by a 30 amp fuse (MF2) in the same fuse box, and is activated by a ground signal from the ignition switch via the BeCM. The fusebox lid gives a key to the relays -- look for one with a starter motor symbol on it. If you cannot hear the relay click when the ignition key is turned to "start", or you suspect it is bad, you can pull it out and jumper pins 30 and 87 to get started.
The fuel pump and injection system is supplied by Relay 12, fed by a 10 amp fuse (F39). These components are also in the engine compartment fuse box and are worth checking

hi ive tried the inertia switch , no differance ive also pressed the valve on the rail on crank up..no differance ive had my bro turn the key while i was under the tank ..i cud hear a flow of fuel but it sounded like it was goin IN the tank il go and try power to the pump now and report bk thanks 4 the help people......if i put a direct power to the pump doe it bypass the relay>???????????????

whilst filter is off it may be worth giving it a try see if owt comes out, if not maybe blow back down the pipe and forward to see if there is a blockage. the pump motor may still run but if the gubbins inside is shot then it wont pump, same if its blocked in either direction. ive never done a rangey fuel filter(only an 06 diesel one and it was just to change it. it was a canister on the underside of car.) make sure tho when it goes back on its the correct way!!!
