I have a Disco 98. It won't start. I have changed the fuel pump, but still won't start.
I have less than a quarter amount of fuel in the tank. Do I need to add fuel and try it agian?
Could it be that the new fuel pump is defective??

Answered question in your other post.

hey joey, got another question for you. i tried to take the old fuel pump out the other day and i am having a hell of time getting it to come out. the ring that covers the fuel pump is stuck or just to tight to use a strap wrench. i have tried three different strap wrenches and even went online and purchased a oil filter wrench, with no avail. any thoughts would be helpful. thanks again

I had the same problem with mine.
The best thing would be to take a screw driver and hammer it through the edges of the ring cover. It should work.

Hammer and screw driver is what I used last.

tried that initially too. will try again just to make sure. this may sound stupid but, is it threaded backwards?
