Title: Fixing my fuel lines- How do I purge the air out of the line
Post by: mtnbob on January 05, 2008, 11:52:00 am

I am repairing the splits in the two fuel lines under my car. Once I get them repaired, do I need do do anything special to get the air out of the lines? They have completely drained of diesel.
Thanks,
Robert

As long as the fuel filter is full you should be ok. You'll probably notice some power loss as the lines work themselves clear of air

I have a outboard boat gas bulb primer installed after the filter and before the I.P. works great! cheap too! and it will tell me if i have blockage or i need a fuel filter change it will collaps when the engine is running!
so i highly recomend one for everyone!
thanks Duane
