RESTARTING AFTER ADDING
FUEL
BLEEDING AIR FROM THE FUEL SYSTEM
Be sure to secure the rear door or radiator
before working the inside.
IMPORTANT: NEVER use the starter
motor to crank the engine in order to
prime the fuel system. This may cause the
starter motor to overheat and damage the
coils, pinion gear and/or ring gear.
IMPORTANT: If the engine stalls due to
fuel shortage, add fuel, turn the key to the
ON position for 60 seconds, and then turn
it to the START position. Running the
starter for a long time before there is
enough fuel is going through can cause
the starter to fail.
RESTARTING AFTER ADDING FUEL
1. Add fuel.
<TL8>
2. Open the rear door.
3. Open the valve (2) of the water separator.
4. Turn the ignition key to the ON position
and hold it for about 60 seconds.
The automatic air bleeder bleeds air from
the fuel system.
5. Start the engine and check for fuel
leakage.
Note: Air in the fuel system causes the
engine to fail to start or to have other
problems. Always bleed air when the fuel
tank is emptied or when there is air in the
fuel system.
