Fellow Landyzoners, I removed the fuel pipe and fuel level gizmo from the fuel tank. The metal pipe was completely clogged and the mesh at the end of the pipe was ripped. Looks like it has been sucking up gunk which caused the pipe to get clogged up and no fuel to run thru the system. I...

Another update. I primed the system by loosening the top bolt on the diesel filter. I pumped and pumped the lever under the fuel pump. There was resistance by no noticeable activity (e.g. air bubbles or diesel) coming out of the loosened bolt on the diesel filter. I tightened the bolt on the...

Thank you, Steve. I did not Prime. I will try this before unscrewing the pump distributor screws. If this does not work, I will try to clean out the Sedimentor. When I said "several," I mean 15 mins of constant pumping.

Removed the diesel filter, 2. refitted the rubber seals to ensure they were correctly fitted, 3. loosened the two small screws on the fuel injection distributor pump, 4. pulled the diesel pump lever several times.

Thanks guys. I replaced the diesel filter with all new rubber seals. I then loosened the two small screws on the distributor. I then pumped and pumped (manually) but there was zero resistance. I turned over the car and still no resistance and no diesel coming out of the screws. I loosened the...

Thank you Hicap Phill, Will check and report back.

Fellow Land Rover Series owners, I recently purchased a long awaited LR Series 3 1979 SWB. She's a beauty, but now running. Initially, everything went great. However, yesterday, I ran out of Diesel. After topping up and refilling at the gas station , the car felt like it was running out of...
