Since the introduction of the Common Rail Diesel engines there has been a large increase in fuel issues with Land Rover vehicles. The main concern is the intake of water through the fuel injection system. If you do get contaminated fuel, any water in the system could result in a complete replacement of the pump and injectors.
Should this occur your warranty would not be recognised until the pump and injectors are replaced at your expense. The installation of the water watch trap assembly from Davis Performance Landys will enhance the original filtration system by collecting the water and give you an audible alarm should water be detected in the fuel.
It will also detect very small amounts of free water, bringing on a LED warning light and audible warning.
Water Watch can also be optioned with the added protection of shut down or back to base warning capability."
"Water Watch" does not replace your vehicles genuine filter assembly, and is fitted prior to the original unit to assist in warning of water entering the vehicle fuel system.
Refuelling from jerry cans can be a common cause of water. Moisture can build up inside empty containers through contraction of the air.
