Peter,
You must have just had bad luck.....Member Gerk SA (he hasn't been on here for yonks and may not even be a member any longer) has had his on his 3L in that position for about 3 years. He did the
Simpson Desert trip with us in July and has taken the Patrol on several trips with "good" corrogations. The vehicle has still only done about 50,000klm (it's not his daily-driver), but as far as I know, the bracket/s are still quite okay. Maybe he has an extra brace on it that I'm not aware of.
As for the idea of mounting the filter down low on the chassis rail, that is where I originally mounted the Morison's DeBug unit on my 4.2L TD, but have since squeezed it into the engine bay as I was concerned it was too much effort for the
fuel pump to get the
fuel back down to the chassis and then back up to the
fuel filter location....(NB: I didn't want to cut into the
fuel line where it went along the chassis, so I simply took the rubber hose off the end of the steel pipe where it ended just under the OE filter, then attached a length of rubber hose to take the
fuel back down to the DeBug, then another hose from DeBug, back up to OE filter. )
Cheers
Roachie
