Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Biggles....Our 4.2 diesels luckily don't rely on battery power to get the diesel up to the pump...... however..... That is an old school way for a great no technology motor saying thank you for the tender loving care !!

You forget I have a frankentroll. As I understand the fuel pump is still 3.0Di

Hmmm... PM Frans ( Tour de Frans ) cause I think that a ZD30 pump is way different to a TD42 pump..... but hey I may be wrong.

or post a photo of the pump then we can have a look

Maybe I am wrong. Are you referring to the injector pump at the front that is driven off the timing cover

Biggles... As far as I know the 4.2 doesn't have any electrical pump to get the diesel to the injector pump. Its that pump you described above that does everything. its purely a mechanical pump that sucks the diesel from the tank and pressurizes it to few bar through the injectors and the feed off goes back the the tank.

OK...that explains some things.
