What's the verdict after some km's?
Fortunately diesel care is a block or so from where I work... might pay them a visit over lunch

I am no expert on a puma 110. However, I would leave the factory setup in place and simply install a Lucas separator after leaving the tank. The reason is that this old time separator acts as a filter but has no element. It picks up water pretty well and larger particles. It's no where near as good as a Racor. However, in the bush you can clean the Lucas out with water or diesel or a rag, and your fine filter will probably be ok. You can rinse out a Racor spin on filter, well I have. But who carries 10 lt of petrol for that in a diesel vehicle. I waited till I found a servo.
Just got a quote fomr Diesel Care for the water separator - seems the price has gone up a bit since last year - $450 delivered... Still without an alarm.
If you visit see what you can learn about the connectors plsQuote:

The discussion (despite my probing) was fairly one sided- 'easy to install', 'you need one', 'bad fuel kills engines'... nothing I dind't know.
Apparently pretty plug 'n' play, but they are happy to install for you if you go there for about 120 IIRC.
They were prob $100 a few yrs ago b4 common rail came out and water became a bigger problem😕😕😕Quote:

Racor do a good filter water separator. It's a lot cheaper.

Has anyone tried this option?
Would such filter work on a puma 2.2
Racor has a 2micro and10micron water separator / filter
Example: 10micron part: 23106_10
I've put the Diesel Care 2nd filter on my My13 -2.2 it's 2 micron with water separating bowl, no problems after about 20K.Quote:

Racor filter-separators are the standard by which all others are measured. I had Racor's on trucks for forty years. Many fleets insisted on fitting them to new vehicles. Small commercial vessels and trawlers used them almost universally. They even make large installations to continuously filter bulk fuel storage. Before the EPA cracked down on the practice, Racor sold installations to filter and dewater waste oil and meter it into your bulk fuel storage.
