Causes of Fuel Pump Failure in a Defender
A fuel pump isn’t built to last forever, but in Dubai’s harsh climate, it fails even faster. The heat, poor fuel quality, and heavy off-road use? A recipe for disaster.
What Kills a Defender’s Fuel Pump?
✔ Dirty or Contaminated Fuel – Sand, debris, or water in fuel clogs the pump, making it work harder.
✔ Clogged Fuel Filter – A blocked filter forces the pump to overwork, burning it out faster.
✔ Running on Low Fuel Too Often – The pump stays submerged in fuel for cooling. Frequent low fuel levels? It overheats and dies.
✔ Wear and Tear – After 100,000+ km, internal parts weaken, dropping fuel pressure.
✔ Faulty Electrical Connections – Loose wiring causes intermittent failure and sudden stalls.
