A couple of ways to approach this :
I like to position the engine to TDC as indicated on the crank pulley then crack the # 1 injector pipe right at the injector _one_ flat only , pump away until you're getting fuel weeping out with every pump stroke .
Remember : if the hand primer pump has a knurled edge , you must first unlock it by turning the handle counter clockwise until iot clicks slightly as you gently depress it whilst turning , DO NOT forget to re lock it after you've pumped ! .
Then , hold the throttle to the floor and crank it until it not only runs but begins to overspeed the starter , let off the key but HOLD that throttle down until it clears out and begins to roar .
I assume you remembered to fill the new (spin on) filter with your choice of Diesel fuel or <magic>Go-Go Juice before installing it ? .

Hey guys,
After completing the diesel purge on my 83 240D, I can't seem to get the fuel system bled. I cracked the outlet line from the main filter to the IP and got fuel out. Cracked the other end of the line (input) line at the IP and got fuel out. I've loosened the injector lines and cranked in 20 second bursts and haven't gotten anything at the injector lines. Cranked so much the battery needed a recharge.
Am I missing a trick or do I need to just keep cranking?
Thanks!
