Re: [diesel_mercedes] Now air bubbles coming from tank!

 

Thanks.  I'll tell him. At least we have the old motor to take lines from...not that they are in any better shape.

Trish,  When Kevin blew on the line, there may have been a tiny weak
spot and he blew it out.  The injection pump has a suction pump in it,
also.  It is sucking on the tube going to the fuel tank.  If there is
a tiny leak anywhere, the suction pump will suck in air.  Ask Kevin to
double check the clamp he took off to blow out the line.  It is old
and may not be clamping properly.  Tracking down these air leaks is
difficult -  Good luck.  Bobby
