Hi,
I changed my fuel filters today (pre-filter & main filter) using the procedure I found in ALLData (Yes -I should have checked this forum first). The AllData procedue contained this note.
Note : The fuel system is self-bleeding during starting. This is due to the increased delivery rate of the fuel pump, the restrictors in the filter upper part (73), and the injection pump.
Based on this note, I thought that an air bleeding sequence was not necessary. Well, it ain't so since I appear to have air in the injectors as the engine will not start. I did go back and loosen the outlet banjo bolt on the filter and cranked the engine until fuel came out, but apparently air has gotten beyond the filter into the injection pump/injectors.
My question is what is the best way to bleed air from the injector pump/injectors?
