Help.....trying to find the fuel filter on a P38 4.6 1999 Range Rover.Do you know where it is located, I have looked in back wheel arches, by the air tank and along the front chassis.Exact location would be appreciated,
cheers, spanishtom
 
Stop looking - there isnt one,only a strainer in the pickup assy,there is no service requirement for it.
 
that explains why i couldnt find mine too then, (is it the same on a 96?) isnt that a little on the dangerous side, no filter, could that lead to blocked injectors. they are plastic tanks so i suppose you wont get bits of rust etc in there like you used to on older cars with metal tanks!
 
Hi Gavbriggs,

Thank you so much, so my problems wont be the fuel filter. Amazing the Land Rover dealer that sold me a fuel filter did not know this, it is obviously not for my model.

cheers spainishtom.
 
1995 - end of 1998Gems injection had an external filter close to the EAS resvoir.99 on, Bosch injection it was not used.Common for filter catalogues to have that listed wrong.
 
i just bought the 3 filters today oil air and fuel, mine is a 2000 4.6, so im wasting my time looking for the fuel filter then:confused:

p38spares.co.uk have a service kit including a fuel filter for my model:confused:

Q2
Do RR made post 1999 have a fuel filter and do they need changing?


Earlier Answer
1995 - end of 1998: (Gems injection) had an external filter close to the EAS resvoir.
1999 on: (Bosch injection) fuel filter was not used.

Added words ("fuel" and "filter" replacing "it") and formatting for extra clarity-goodness!:p

EAS reservoir is located on the underside of the car. It holds air for the EAS (Electronic Air Suspension) so nothing at all to do with the fuel system.
