Hi

New to this forum seeking advice from fellow Freelander owners. I have a TD4 that takes about 10minutes to put £20 of fuel in. Is there a quick fix as I would prefer not to drop the tank.

Thanks in advance for y

I had a similar problem filling my Freelander with the pump switching off quickly. The solution was to move the nozzle up to make space for air – see this illustration in the owner’s manual.

Never had this problem with my Defender or any other vehicle.

Thanks but the only way I can fill is to have the end of the nozzle about 1inch from the car and squirt it in very slowly.

My Freelander does the same.. Its a safety device in there that stops fuel leaking out if vehicle rolls.. Sometimes it falls down funnel a bit causing a narrowing.. No matter what way I put diesel in it does it slow .. It does no harm and I have learned to live with it.. Nightmare in this cold weather though..

Run the vehicle low on fuel, remove filler neck at tank and youll find the anti syphon valve that's fallen down.
Remove and throw ! 15 mins

Thanks. Do I need to drop the tank?

No. Just take the pipe off
