Just changed a leaking fuel filter on my 56 TD4 Freelander S1. This required dropping the filter/pump/sedimeter tray and 'freeing' the old filter with a hammer and drift on the bench. Reconnected it all and tried priming the pump according to the Haynes manual. System doesn't seem to self-prime - no pump evident in the tank (only two wires for the sender). So no fuel in the lines upstream and downstream of the pump and I'm guessing I'm going to have to manually prime the system. Has anyone come up against this and does anyone have suggestions how to best do this - my thoughts are around syphoning fuel into the sedimenter / pump from a can of diesel and running the pump to get fuel around the system. Also if anyone has seen the Landrover fuel system description I'd be interested to know how the system operates without a tank pump - does it use HP return fuel as a jet pump?
