No. The TD5 has the pump in the tank giving positive pressure in the fuel lines through the filter to the engine. The TDCi has a pump unit on the engine which creates a negative pressure in the fuel line drawing the fuel through the filter to the engine. Land Rovers are an addiction. Toyotas are for quitters.

![]() Interesting. Hence the issue of water being ingested via the fuel tank breather valve. A postive pressurised tank would not have the same problem. ![]() '08 Defender 110 ex '95 Disco 300 Tdi www.aulro.com |

The td5 tank doesn't get positive pressure, it still holds a partial vacuum as it drains, it just doesnt seem to get as big as the TDCi. When I open the fuel cap on my TD5 you can hear the air get sucked in when the seal breaks. I do have long range tanks though (150l). Land Rovers are an addiction. Toyotas are for quitters.

I guess you take it from the fuel return line, that would be under some pressure. Wether it would have the volume and pressure required for what you want I don't know. Taking a separate feed from the tank may indeed be a better/safer option. Land Rovers are an addiction. Toyotas are for quitters. WWW.CQLROC.ORG |

Webastos come with their own feed pump so i guess from the tank may be the way to go.
Thank you Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

James
Would not bother with the webasto , Puma's have a heating system ![]() Just can not see the hassle of fitting / swapping over, worth it California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1 Main Brian James Trailer Dealer for South West UK |

thats what i was thinking, ones at work seem to warm up a lot quicker than the td5 so i am unlikely to bother but was just wondering
maybe the tdci warms up quicker due to the lack of oil in the top part of the engine.......... ![]() James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

The puma's warm up just a quickly as most modern cars (and like any other tdci ford) so i would say you wont need one.
Whilst im waiting i put the heated seats on (although we have only had 1 cold morning since April to test it) Mike |
