Hi, indeed it seems to work on LR-DI-engines. I believe, you need a 2-tank-system to avoid SVO influence into the engine oil. The Bosch VE seems to stand the higher viscosity SVO and the build in membrane fuel pumpe of the 200 and 300 tdi engines for sure helps a lot. How is the application of your filter system working in your disco? Is that exactly the same like the Defender models? I only know one person in Germany, who is running a 300TDI (Def.90)with SVO using a 2-Tank-system and a (small) heat exchanger cooling liquid/SVO and until now I have heart nothing bad about it. I have a one-ten with the 2,5 n/a engine and one-tank-system (thanks god a swirl-chamber). The only problem ist, when it is very cold at night and I park the car uphill, the engine do not want to start the next morning. The reason is not bad pre-glowing or bad atomization of the nozzles, it is only that problem, the viscosity of SVO is so high, the fuel lift pump can't pull it through the (10mm) line from the tank while starting rounds of the enigne. Since a long time I want to build in an additional electrical lift pump, but it means a lot of work and an additional possibly-failure part. So I avoid uphill parking and mixing about 10 to 20% gasoil, when the temperatur is under about 5 degrees. HTH and best wishes Michael (who do not like the combination SVO and direct injection)
