Richy B Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hi all, I have a couple of services on a Puma engine 90 coming along, and was wondering if i "needed" the fuel priming pump tool jobby ? i have had a google about and some say "no problems if the filter is prefilled before fitting" and read other reports that state it is " a must" to do the job ?? I dont mind purchasing the tool but only if its required, Many thanks for input, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BogMonster Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I know you can *usually* do it without the primer if you fill the filter up, whether it works 100% every time I am not so sure ... and it would be a bloody long walk to collect one! The special tool is stupidly expensive but you can make one all you need is a £5 primer bulb (like an outboard motor would have fitted) a fitting to go into the end of the pipe at the engine end, and a pipe to go from the other end into a bucket. Can't remember what the genuine special tool costs but I think as usual it's something stupid like £100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P H Services Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 On the transits i just fill the fuel filter up with fresh fuel or injector cleaner. But make sure you take them for a test drive afterwards as they have a habit of coming loose !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
