Priming the fuel system
NOTE!
In order for the diesel fuel system to
work properly, the fuel lines must be full of fuel
and contain no air. If air gets into the fuel lines,
it will be necessary to prime the fuel system
to eliminate the air before operating the boat.
Air could have entered the system in any of the
following ways:
– The boat ran out of fuel.
– The fuel lines have leaking joints.
– The filter was removed for service or
replacement.
– The fuel lines were removed or
disconnected for servicing.
– The fuel pump was removed for servicing.
– The fuel filter water drain cock was opened
while the engine was running.
If one or more of the above occurred, air has
entered the fuel system and you will need to
prime the system prior to operating the vehicle.
