Running dry

Post by Mathijs »

Proven again what an amateur farmer I am again. Ran the tank dry.
What's the correct procedure to get rid of the air in the fuel system?

First of all add some diesel in the tank. next: open the bleeder on the top of fuel filter and pump with the handle on feedpump.when all the air is gone there, close it and open the bleeder on the main fuelpump and continue pumping. once the air is gone close it. If you have a cold start button, press it and start cranking until it fires. you can ease it abit by loosening the Hp pipes at the injector end to let the air out, but it's not necessary.
