Bleeding fuel system (pd130)

Post by cooz93 »

Tomorrow I plan on changing some fuel pipes, as the ones on the car have been rubbing and are looking past their best. How will I go about bleeding the system of air afterwards? As I know there will be lots of air pockets due to new lines? I'm scared to just leave it to chance and turn the ignition on and let it bleed itself.. I had no problems last time I changed the filter, but think this time it will be different. And ideas would be great:)

it will bleed itself,as it does when changing the filter..may be a bit lumpy initially but just leave it running for a while till it smoothes out

Spot on it self primes the system, might take a good few turns for it to start but once its started take it for a short run and it will be back to 100%.

Yep should be fine, i'd turn the ignition on and off a few times before you fire it up just to make sure.
