patrol newbie

[patroljimmy88]

Hey Guys,

Im jimmy, Just recently picked up a 08 patrol, dz30ddti. Got it at a good price came with the basics, which was good. because I intend to do her up well and good for a trip im organising at the end of the year around Australia.

I was all ready to jump in the car last night and head out camping for the weekend, till me mate noticed a diesel smell. I get under the car and see a massive pool of diesel on the floor.

cleaned up the leak this morning and can see it trickling out of the fuel pump(or what I believe is the fuel pump)

I have TRIED doing as much research as possible online, but am coming up short.
