When I turned off my disco 1 this evening (the key was out), I heard from the rear right of the truck that (I think) the fuel pump is still running. And I can also smell fuel. I immediately pull the fuse of the fuel pump, but the strange noise still existed. Is my pump, or relay, failed? Any suggestion to where I should look at it?

If the fuel pump fails, can any second source fit? I heard about Carter Unit, Airtex, & Master, etc. Does anyone have any experience with that?

Finally, my truck has been very sluggish lately.. Do you think it is related to the fuel pump?

Thanks,

Michael

The sluggish problem is a result of buying a Discovery. Jk.

If the pump is running then most likely there isn't anything wrong with it. I wish I could help more but I don't know what to say. I tried looking up the problem in my Haynes manual but it wasn't being very helpful either. I don't know what would be causing the fuel smell...did you recently fill the tank up completely prior to the problem?
