bleeding diesel

[General Baxter]

funny question,

how lol
iv replaced the tank and lines so there empty lol

[shy witness]

there should b a we small hand pump(probably on top of the fuel filter housing

start pumping it..and just slacken/release of a bolt ath the top of the housing..........or even a pipe on the fule direction out ....


just keep pumpin untill its coming in a constant flow......rather than spluttering (full of air)


it also helps if you give it some throttle as if it doesnt start on all cylinders.....it will help pick it up.and then it will come on to all 4


hope that helps

[coombsey]

thought they only had the had pumps on larger vechicles

[shy witness]

that coukld b possible


its trucks i work on.........

but some cars have them aswelle.....in some shape or form


for example.................peugeots have a we inline swell pump.........they all do the same job though

i honestly have no idea though about a vauxhall car set up

Vauxhalls self bleed. If it is not running then there could be some ****e blocking the feed pipe. putting several gallons of fuel in & sticking an airline down the pipe usually does the trick.

Or you can crack the injectors of a 1/4 of a turn then turn it over untill the fuel come's out.I use to be a diesal fitter for a tool hire company no hand pumps on there kit.
It also use to work on the transits when the drivers ran out of fuel.

crack off all the injectors then keep turning it over until he diesel squirts every where lol then do the injectors back up and she should fire

[General Baxter]

ill do it lukes way sound more fun lol

[bonelorry]

as burgo said, the best way ive found with isuzu's is to crack the injctors off till you get fuel then tighten them up.
