G'day Everyone,
Anyone know where I can get hold of a priming tool for the Puma model. Been advised that the on;ly way to replace the filter is to use a priming tool once a new filter is fitted.
Just trying to plan for a future trip, my last car - TD5 it was simple to replace the filter.
I have heard about a few methods but would like to ensure it is done correctly should this ever need to be done by me in the bush. Would hate to have to call Land Rover Assist just because My fuel filter has become faulty. Thoughts please.

remove the return line from the tank, pressureise the tank to a few psi via the line going to the tank and fuel should start to spill from the line coming from the engine. (you may need to turn on the ignition and crank the engine to open everything up)
give it a couple of minutes of flow and thats it done.

Replaced broken fuel filter housing on puma now can't get fuel up into the motor

The Puma needs a vacuum on the fuel line to prime. This prevents an air lock forming in the injector pump. The easiest method is to replicate the OEM primer pump. It is then attached at the bleed point near to the injector pump on top of the engine.

The service manager at my local LR dealer who is generally very knowlegable, advises that a few judicious squirts from a pressure pack deodoriser will do the trick, I haven't tried this myself but it sounds reasonable.

sounds like using areostart in diesels.
hey, its only a ford engine, why not.

I gather this is like we used to do with work boats, give the air filter a squirt and fire up. hmm, not sure if I really want to go down this path.
Just seems so ridiculous that a vehicle designed to go anywhere and with legend status is hampered by such a simple thing as priming a filter.
You mean use the aerosol to pressurise the tank via the outlet that the return line was attached to? Or via some other method?Originally Posted by Carlos

There is a market here for someone like Mulgo to manufacture a reasonably priced "bush priming kit" with instructions for us Puma owners I reckon. The ome prime part is stupidly priced
Master
Been advised that you cannot purchase the part, not for private sale. So to have some manufacture and sell with instructions would be very worthwhile. Amazes me that such an important part to the vehicle is so hard to fix should things go wrong. Love everything else with the car, just this filter dillema is niggling me.
