1994 Disco Fuel Filter question
#1
![Default](https://landroverforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello there,
Background:
This is my first post, probably well overdue.
Using the RAVE manual, I recently replaced the fuel pump in my Disco after it failed on Xmas day. All good, even did another 300 kms on a camping trip over New Years. I Didn't 'officially' depressurise the lines, but I think they kinda did themselves as the fuel pump failed and then it lines emptied.
(Embarrasingly) The Disco has not been serviced/fluids for about 2 years. So Today I decided to give it some loving.
Oil Change
Fuel Filter
Oil Filter
Air Filter
New Plugs
New Leads
All completed successfully except fuel filter.
Question:
I have located the fuel filter above the driver's side wheel well. My question is: is it absolutely essential to depressurise the fuel line (like the manual says...remove the fuel pump (again) and run dry) ???
Or is there another way to replace the fuel filter without having to go through this.?
CHeers for your help.
