6.3 Plug fuel hoses after disconnection -<br />
pump inlet hose disconnected, outlet hose<br />
arrowed<br />
13 The air temperature control valve can be<br />
renewed only with the complete intake duct<br />
assembly. If a new intake duct assembly is<br />
being fitted, undo the four screws securing<br />
the hot air intake adaptor plate to the bottom<br />
of the duct <strong>and</strong> transfer the adaptor plate to<br />
the new duct.<br />

procedure.<br />

6 Fuel pump - testing,<br />
removal <strong>and</strong> refitting 2<br />
Testing<br />
1 To test the fuel pump on the engine,<br />
temporarily disconnect the outlet pipe which<br />
leads to the carburettor <strong>and</strong> hold a wad of rag<br />
over the pump outlet while an assistant spins<br />
the engine on the starter. Keep your h<strong>and</strong>s<br />
away from the electric cooling fan. Regular<br />
spurts of fuel should be ejected as the engine<br />
turns.<br />
2 The pump can also be tested by removing<br />
it. With the pump outlet pipe disconnected<br />
but the inlet pipe still connected, hold a wad<br />
7.4 Undo three screws to remove fuel<br />
gauge sender unit access cover<br />
6.5 Removing fuel pump <strong>and</strong> insulating<br />
block<br />
of rag by the outlet. Operate the pump lever<br />
by h<strong>and</strong>, moving it in <strong>and</strong> out. If the pump is in<br />
a satisfactory condition, a strong jet of fuel<br />
should be ejected.<br />
Removal<br />
3 Identify the pump inlet <strong>and</strong> outlet hoses<br />
then, using a pair of pliers, release the<br />
retaining clips <strong>and</strong> disconnect them from the<br />
pump. Place wads of rag beneath the hose<br />
unions to catch any spilled fuel <strong>and</strong> plug the<br />
hose ends to minimise fuel loss (see<br />
illustration).<br />
4 Slacken <strong>and</strong> remove the nuts <strong>and</strong> washers<br />
securing the pump to the cylinder head.<br />
5 Withdraw the fuel pump from the engine<br />
<strong>and</strong> remove the insulating block (see<br />
illustration).<br />
Refitting<br />
6 Refitting is the reverse of the removal<br />
procedure. Clean the mating surfaces <strong>and</strong><br />
renew the insulating block if its sealing<br />
surfaces are marked or damaged. Tighten the<br />
pump mounting nuts to the specified torque<br />
wrench setting.<br />
7.6 Using <strong>Rover</strong> special tool to remove<br />
fuel gauge sender unit<br />
1689 <strong>Rover</strong> <strong>214</strong> & <strong>414</strong> Updated Version 09/97<br />
7 Fuel gauge sender unit -<br />
removal <strong>and</strong> refitting 2<br />
Removal<br />
1 Disconnect the battery negative lead.<br />
2 On <strong>214</strong> models, open the tailgate <strong>and</strong><br />
remove the parcel tray shelf. Fold the rear<br />
seats fully forwards then raise the luggage<br />
compartment carpet to gain access to the fuel<br />
sender unit access cover.<br />
3 On <strong>414</strong> models, open the boot lid <strong>and</strong> lift up<br />
the luggage compartment carpet to gain<br />
access to the fuel sender unit access cover.<br />
4 On all models, undo the three screws <strong>and</strong><br />
remove the access cover from the floor (see<br />
illustration).<br />
5 Remove the sender unit wiring connector<br />
rubber cover <strong>and</strong> disconnect the connector<br />
from the sender.<br />
6 Unscrew the sender unit retaining ring by<br />
turning it in an anti-clockwise direction <strong>and</strong><br />
remove it from the fuel tank. In the absence of<br />
the special <strong>Rover</strong> ring spanner, <strong>Service</strong> tool<br />
number 18G 1595 (see illustration), a pair of<br />
slip-jointed pliers will serve as an adequate<br />
substitute to slacken the ring.<br />
7 Carefully lift the sender unit, taking great<br />
care not to bend or damage the sender float,<br />
<strong>and</strong> remove the sealing ring. Examine the<br />
sealing ring <strong>and</strong> renew it if it is worn or<br />
damaged.<br />
Refitting<br />
8 Refitting is the reverse of the removal<br />
procedure. Ensure that the tab on the sender<br />
unit is correctly engaged with the cutout in the<br />
fuel tank.<br />
8 Fuel tank -<br />
removal <strong>and</strong> refitting 3<br />
Warning: Do not under any<br />
circumstances attempt to solder<br />
or weld a fuel tank.<br />
Removal<br />
1 Before removing the fuel tank, all fuel must<br />
be drained from the tank. Since a fuel tank<br />
drain plug is not provided, it is therefore<br />
preferable to carry out the removal operation<br />
when the tank is nearly empty. Before<br />
proceeding, disconnect the battery negative<br />
lead <strong>and</strong> syphon or h<strong>and</strong> pump the remaining<br />
fuel from the tank.<br />
2 Chock the front wheels, then jack up the<br />
rear of the vehicle <strong>and</strong> support it on<br />
axle st<strong>and</strong>s. Remove the left-h<strong>and</strong> rear<br />
roadwheel.<br />
3 Undo the bolt then slacken <strong>and</strong> remove the<br />
two screws securing the cover fitted to the<br />
left-h<strong>and</strong> side of the fuel tank. Prise out the<br />
screw retaining plugs <strong>and</strong> remove the cover to
