A ring, open ender or a combination? 🤔

In the spirit of education I am going to be even more pedantic than @bluedog333. It is not "90" it is Ninety. When these first came out in the '80's there were referred to as Land Rover One Ten, Land Rover Ninety, and Land Rover One Two Seven...

It’s still got the cat fitted then…

Thanks bluedog 90 it is 👍🏻

Congratulations! I’m going to be ‘that’ person, you actually have a Ninety, not a Defender.

Little update, I finally got around to looking into parts for this properly. Was cheaper to order the parts individually on ebay than get one ready made up if people are interested this is what I have bought: LINK1, LINK2, LINK3, LINK4, total...

Have fished a small twig from the carb bowl of a Sherpa minibus ...

Our 2a had a mesh on the filler neck, mind you it was so coarse even small twigs could get through it!

I think the logic is if they can stand paint/thinners then fuel should not be an issue. Lots of trucks also have a plastic mesh widget on the bottom of the standpipe.

Good shout, I’m looking at pressure washer filters too. Doesn’t need to filter down to microns, just something to keep the flaky crap out!

Think series diesel had them on the end of the standpipe. Believe spray gun filters fit?

Could it be that in colder weather/climes diesel can be thicker, maybe too thick for the filter grade material ?

It does seem like strange logic for one to have a filter and the other doesn't.

You’re right, diesels weren’t fitted with them and early petrols were. Seems a bit daft not having one - the last lift pump I changed had a load of crap inside that was causing intermittent fuel supply issues. The one I have looked at getting is...

There is nothing on the Ninety, I'm not sure they actually had them. Maybe the petrol version had one?

Has anyone fitted a fuel pickup (in tank) filter to their diesel Landy? I’m replacing the fuel line soon and can see this being a worthy upgrade. Just wondering what others have used, if they have.
