    Pat,

    Got mine from a Transit enquiry/google search. I had a look at the Transit and the Puma before ordering. Searched Land Rover first and got nothing as usual.

    As a matter of fact, accidently double clicked and ended up ordering 2...

    I'm surprised that any common rail diesel has stock filtration worse than 5 micron (unless there is a secondary filter)!

    I use 2 micron filters with the old school mechanical injection system on my truck (although I know this system doesn't necessarily need that level of filtration).

    found on in OZ here:

    no idea what brand it is... no photo..
    just came across it on his website

    Dirk from Land Rover Tuning in QLD sells them :

    Landrover Tuning :: Diesel Fuel System Priming Device Defender Td4 Tdci

    not cheap at $119...

    i`ve been draining my fuel filter through the little screw-on bit at the bottom on a monthly basis to get rid of the water and crap in there
    ..always suprised how much water and dirt is in there...
    it starts straight away after the draining without any problems. ,but have not yet changed the filter . will try the "filling it up with Diesel" approach soon ..

    They are different,I might have a look around and see if a different one fits,trouble with the Puma the delivery relies on suction so a different filter may cause feed problems. Pat

    I checked, but couldn't find the delivery note. I'm 99% sure this is the website though and the one in the picture looks exactly like the one I've got.

    Diesel Injection System Priming Device

    These guys are over in Hallam, Victoria. I've seen it work on a Transit and the fittings are identical on most European and American diesels.
