Re: [diesel_mercedes] Help bleeding fuel system after filter replacement

 

Guys,

I meant to say that after the diesel purge, I changed the fuel filters, and so now I can't seem to get it to start. I think I've purged the air from the main filter by cracking the banjo fitting on the outlet line from the filter to the IP. I've also loosened the injector lines and after a cumulative 3-4 minutes of cranking (in 15-29 second bursts), still see no fuel at the injector lines. 

As I asked previously, am I missing something, a or do I need to just keep cranking?

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!
