    On our '96 Discovery the fule pump and tank level sending unit is located on the top side of the fuel tank and is accessed via a removable panel in the cargo area. The carpet needs to be lifted to remove the panel, and then the fuel pump ring spun off.

    HTH,

    Really, well thats great. I was dreading having to drop the tank. Iwas also told all I have to do is unscrew the old fuel pump, much like a gas cap and then screw in the new one. Should I jut order the fuel pump off of the website, part #PLF132? Thanks again guys.

    I think we are on the 5th fuel pump in our 161K mile '96 Discovery. I keep a good used one as a spare for 'just in case', but the next time I will replace the stock pump with an external pump, and use the stock pump assembly for the fuel level sender. I've used RN or the dealer for the part.

    I picked up the used fuel pump from a nearby British/Exotic/Land Rover salvage yard that is owned by a friend. His yard has been very convienient....

    I think Dodge PU trucks have that mason jar type of lid holding the fuel pump down......Land Rovers use a metel ring, which must be rotated......and removed.

    There is a good chance it is corroded and perhaps not re-usable, i'd have a new one on hand if you go the used fuel pump route..........

    Smile Fuel Pump Or Relay

    My Disco is a 96 with 104mi on it. I'm currently trouble shooting a possible fuel pump problem. But I'm also led to believe it could be a relay problem . There appears to be no power getting to the pump. Do you have any suggestions ? I'm hope it's a relay and not a pump it's much cheaper
