    This is one of the threads i read when i first got my puma;

    DEFENDER2.NET - View topic - Puma fuel bleeding pump

    I didnt get the pump as it takes me less than a minute to hook my air compressor onto the fuel tank breather line. I have done 2 or 3 filter changes (and a few air ingress shutdowns thanks to aux tank transfer system) that way and it works just fine.

    The in-tank pump on a 2.2 Puma fills the new filter in no time. Switch ignition to aux, wait for pump to stop filling. Then start engine. All good

    On my 2.4 I just fill the filter with fuel and it just coughs a couple of times and goes.

    Can that be retrofitted to a 2.4? Would also be a fuel tank out job, i guess?

    Works nicely, but comes with the disclaimer that you are putting unfiltered diesel into the output side of the filter. Or so I have read from far more knowledgable people than I.

    Filter the diesel that you are pouring in and you souldnt have a problem.

    Never changed a filter in the bush. I suppose I could just tip the fuel from the old filter into the new filter.
    Incidentally, it will still start if the new filter is fitted empty, it just takes more attempts until the new filter fills up and the fuel runs to the engine.

    Puma assuming:
    Egr delete, remap bigger cooler
    Centre muffler delete

    The above two mods will reduce your egts and help keep your coolant temps reasonable whilst allowing your engine to increase its service life.

    Then;
    -Ashcroft gearbox output shaft fix
    -Hd flanges
    -Locker in rear diff, peg it whilst it's out and this will be more than solid enough for a puma
    - rear axles too whilst diff is getting locker
    - take a spare cap for the coolant reservoir as they can start to leak slowly.
    - 2nd fuel tank

    That's it. After that the mods come down to personal needs

    The engine mods and benefits relating to egts can be found here:

    Puma 2.2 Egt's

    Good luck
