General Maintenance
D. Bleeding Fuel System
Air must be vented from the fuel system whenever any component between
the fuel tank and the injection pump has been disconnected, or when the
system has been emptied or run out of fuel.
IMPORTANT! DO NOT attempt to start the engine until the injection pump
has been filled and primed with fuel. Serious damage to the lift pump will
result due to lack of proper lubrication.
1. To vent the low pressure lines and fuel filter (Figure 87), open the
vent screw located on the filter head.
2. Operate the hand plunger on the lift pump until fuel flowing from the
fitting is free of air.
3. Tighten the vent screw and torque to 7 lb-ft (9 Nm).
