Sorry, but the one marked with an arrow on the filter is the return line, not the main supply... When new, on the filter's connection to HP pump (the clean zone) there is a cap. To prevent the dirt to enter, prior installing, in the "clean zone" of the filter. See the procedure (and where to insert the hand pump) and the filter top below: https://www.freel2.com/gallery/albums/user...eeding.pdf ![]() |

Eurolandy, ive looked on ebay but didnt see any for sale at the moment, try getting a price from landrover for the fuel line part, it will be a lot cheaper to make your own primer than buying the offical one. There bloody silly money for what they are. |

I replace the fuel filter every 30,000 miles, we just use a 50ml syringe....fill it up with fresh diesel then fit it. Have had zero problems on the last two replacements |

I have changed my filter three times now and all I do is use a small funnel and a piece of windscreen washer tubing to pour fuel into the filter as Alex says through the front left (white connector) then fill the fuel pipe itself before quickly pushing it on to the filter. Never had a problem. Expense on pumps, syringes etc zero! |

I change my diesel fuel filter every 30,000 klms. I have a bulb priming tool I got on ebay and it works fine. It does leak a little but I'm not that concerned

What I do is connect the bulb primer inline between the filter and tank with the filtrr out connections in place. Pump the bulb till firm then remove primer, hook up the tank line ten start the car. Sometimes it takes some cranking before it fires up.

Thanks, I plan to do it without a pump, but will fill the new filter with deisel via a syringe and pipe.
