Secondary diesel fuel filter

Has anyone done/seen a secondary fuel filter install to a Freelander?

Seen it as a must have in a 4x4 YouTube vid on a hilux, was wondering if it’s worthwhile or not. Corrado VR6 Mystic Blue - Gone

I haven’t heard of anyone else adding another fuel filter. That would be even more back pressure for the high pressure pump to suck against and it has enough of a problem with the existing filter.

Different on old cars with low pressure pumps and no return to tank but modern high pressure stuff it would just be asking for trouble. I just change my genuine LR fuel filter every other service, 20k miles. No issues at all. Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Agreed. Not worth it. Just change the fuel filter more regularly. Jules
