fuel filter location P38 4.6 Range Rover

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.

mines a 1996 hse and i have 1 near the air tank

As 8inaV said, earlier motors had the filter towards the centre of the car, just accross from the suspension air receiver

Hi chaps,

Thanks for everyone who answered. now sorted....
cheers Tom

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!

What and where is the EAS resvoir as mine seems it has fuel starvation or blockage wanna rule this out bloody car

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.

i have a p38 1997 any idea where the fuel filter is and is it one that needs cleaning or changing ???

ooppss sos forgot to put its the 4.0 litre

fuel filter found and changed
