One such piece of kit that was previously recommended was the Parker-Racor but I don't find this when searching on t'interweb.
Please could fellow users recommend a source or an alternative product.
The intended use is for a 1HZ diesel motor (4.2L / 6 cyls, 96kw/130bhp) in a HZJ78L Toyota LandCruiser "Troopy" , and location primarily Sahara Desert.
Thanks in anticipation of any constructive advice. Merharba, ma'asalaam.

The good news is that Toyota had considered this problem and fitted a filter and water separator to your HZJ78. They even put a light on the dashboard to warn you when the water / sediment in the filter has reached the level where it requires draining. I am not sure what you are anticipating to encounter, but why would this factory fitted unit be inadequate?
My SE-Asia supplied 60 series has this system, and also a buzzer to alert you to the separator needing draining, just in case the bulb fails or the operator is blind.
