I hope it will be easy to fit one to the vehicles already delivered. Although it’s not really from importance as long as I stay on Europe.Dear all,
I've just noticed that you can order now a diesel water separator during the configuration (under the engine selection as extra)
PS: this is the case at least for the German configuration
Different thing. That is the unit that separates oil from the crankcase ventilation gasses before it gets fed back into the intake. This thread was about the fuel water separator in the fuel line I believeMore information on the Hengst oil/air separator here. A similar model in this video from Hengst here.
It is standard for Australian all diesel models. Picture above is from an INEOS owned car in Sydney.I am also interested in having a water separator. Has someone more info on it? It's said to be standard in Australian grenadiers. Is that true? Can someone down there have a look under his car please?
You could retrofit it, if you have all the parts (not just the unit). I would only get an installer who knows what he is doing to do that. Lucky for us, all Australian Diesel models has it fitted as standard now.This Option is new on the Website. My dealer told me it is now available for 2024 Models. Alongside an built in inverter and some other things. He could not answer me if it is possible to retrofit the diesel filter with the water separator. Has anyone done it
I hope it will be easy to fit one to the vehicles already delivered. Although it’s not really from importance as long as I stay on Europe.
Poor quality diesel in Australia is the reason why we have it. Water in diesel storage tanks can be an issue.Triberg: Tankpanne Wasser statt Diesel hat teure Folgen

For non German speaking people...heavy rain let water flow into the Diesel tanks of a filling station....in Germany. Happens from time to time. That"s why I always keep the bill/receipt for a few weeks.

Particularly with above ground tanks.Poor quality diesel in Australia is the reason why we have it. Water in diesel storage tanks can be an issue.
You mean fuel doctor is an alternative to a water seperator?I always use Fuel Doctors when remote, just in case.
Be careful. I had had green sludge dripping out of my exhaust on my Defender 2.2tdci 4yrs ago. The Grenadier BMW. engine is designed for a max 50ppm sulphur. In Senegal Mauritania and Guinea over 500ppm you’ll clog the dpf, egr valve and burn injectors over long term. Unfortunately you can’t filter out sulphurPlanning to take the Grenadier to north Africa exactly where the diesel quality is the worst...View attachment 7829299
My old Nissan Patrol had the OEM fuel filter, I added a water in diesel alarm (called Water Watch) and also Fuel Doctors.You mean fuel doctor is an alternative to a water seperator?
