Outback travel

Murphy says what ever you take, it will be something different that you need. With a well prepared vehicle and not driving too fast you shouldn't have any problems. Obviously a few spare tyres (all the better if they are interchangeable between caravan and car). When on roads like the Tanami, each stop check everything that can some unscrewed - any idea how many screws in a caravan? We had no tyre problems on the Gibb or the Tanami, but a few other problems on the Tanami.

When you say about to take off, when would that be?? because the Gibb RR wont be open until May at the earliest, I wouldn't think the Tanimi would be open all the way through for a while either.

Hope this helps.

Take a spare fuel filter or two and a 5mm allen key in case you get bad fuel.

Here is the fitting procedure

1. Remove both electrical plugs from filter assembly.
2. "Crack" the three Allen key studs whilst still connected to vehicle and you have leverage. Keep reasonably firm to prevent fuel leakage onto vehicle.
3. Undo two nuts holding assembly to vehicle and remove.
4. Hold assembly whilst you undo and remove the three Allen key studs.
5. Carefully remove top of filter assembly (without taking fuel hoses off). Then take filter "bowl" away from vehicle to drain fuel and remove filter.
6. Clean filter "bowl" with clean rag.
7. Install new filter with new o-ring/seal.
8. Reinstall assembly to vehicle.
9. Prime the fuel filter housing using the manual pump on top of assembly. You should know when the housing is primed by the extra, very firm pressure on the manual pump.
10. Follow procedures outlined below to turn off the warning light.

The fuel system warning light (see LC 200 Owners Manual). There is no information in the Manual on how to reset the warning light .

Follow this procedure to turn light off:
1. Disconnect top wires/plug on filter housing
2. Turn Ignition on
3. Plug top wires/plug back in
4. Turn Ignition Key off
5. Turn Key back on and start vehicle
Light should now be off!!

Thanks Guys,
All comments are much appreciated and will. Be taken on board I've already been thru the of changing the fuel filter while staying at Barn Hill where a gentleman with a 200 series had a fuel filter he sold for cost price, and a guy showed me how to install and replace the old dirty filter, there is always somebody out there to help you, I now carry 2 fuel filters so that I can help someone as well when the situation arises .
