Britpart fuel filter troubles?

Have a mate who ordered a service kit for a tdci and all went well except when trying to start up, it ran a few seconds then stopped. It would not start again until eventually refitting the old filter.

It appears there is a lack of "notches" on the top of the britpart filter, and it seemed a little loose when fitted.

So, wondering if anyone else has had issues with these?

Cheers in advance.

Pete.

I heard a stroy that said you have to Plug the puma into a dealers pooter if you change the filter??? Dunno if it's true though???

Mmmm, thats a thought. Seemed to run fine after refitting the old one?

It did run for a while with the ****part though

Have just googled fitting a puma fuel filter. and Apparently theres no way to prime the filter after it's fitted, short of forcing compressed air into fueltank Peeps seem to prefill the filter with diesel and then rev like fook until the air bleeds thru. That or take it to dealer who have special pump to prime system with

Lol!

Cheers for the help chaps, seems he didnt prefill the filter. I'll put your wise words forward, he may (or not) want to try fitting the filter again

I had mine done at the local independent who were nowhere near as expensive as the stealers, they didn't seem to have any trouble.

no trouble:crazy_driver:
