Bleeding the fuel lines

Bleeding the fuel lines

Use the method described below to speed up bleeding the fuel system if air has entered the system, such as after changing the filter or when a fuel delivery line has been disconnected.


1. Remove the protective cap and connect 88 19 096 Bleeding equipment and 30 31 069 Nipple, bleeding equipment to the service outlet on the delivery line to the fuel pump.


2. Draw up fuel until a constant flow of fuel can be seen in the suction line.

3. Remove the bleeder nipple from the service outlet while the equipment is running (this avoids fuel spills and air from entering the system).

4. Put the protective cap onto the service outlet.

5. Start the engine and check the system for leaks and suchlike.
