Next time , get a quart of Diesel Kleen or whatever Diesel fuel
additive you want and fill the new filter with it and install , then
when you start the engine , keep the RPM's up at normal crusing speed
for about two minutes , this will belld the tiny amount of air out .
NO NEED TO BLEED if you do it thisa - way .
Once I did it and forgot to rev. the engine , got 1/2 block away and
it stalled so I floored it whilst craking and it re-starterd in a
moment and ran fine .
