BLEEDING THE FUEL SYSTEM
(FOR DIESEL ENGINE (2.9 CRDi))
The fuel system should be bled to remove air as
described in the illustration if the fuel supply is
exhausted during travel, when the fuel filter is
replaced, or if the vehicle is not used for a long
time.
1. Pump the hand prime pump with your hand
for one minute(about 20~30 times).
2. Turn the ignition key to the "START" posi-
tion and release it 2~3 times shortly until the
engine starts.
CAUTION:
Do not hold the ignition key in the "START"
position for more than 15 seconds. Doing so
may cause the engine and the injection pump
to damage.

2. Operate the hand pump slowly 6 or 7 times
in order to force the water out through the
drain plug.
3. Tighten the drain plug when water no longer
comes out.
4. Loosen the air bleed bolt and bleed the air.
(Refer to "Bleeding the fuel system")
5. Check to be sure that the warning lamp
illuminates when the ignition key is turned to
"ON", and that it goes off when the engine is
started.
If in doubt, consult your nearest authorized
HYUNDAI dealer.
WARNING:
(1) Do not smoke or have any other open
flame near the vehicle while bleeding the
fuel system.
(2) Be sure to carefully wipe away any water
drained out in this manner, because the
fuel mixed in the water might be ignited
and result in a fire.

REMOVAL OF WATER FROM THE
FUEL FILTER
(FOR DIESEL ENGINE (2.5 TCI))
E100A01HP
If the fuel filter warning lamp illuminates during
driving, it indicates that water has accumulated
in the fuel filter. If this occurs, remove the water
as described below.
1. Loosen the drain plug at the bottom of the
fuel filter.
(2) Be sure to carefully clean away any fuel
which spilled onto nearby parts coming
out of the air bleed bolt, because such
accumulations of fuel might ignite and
cause a fire.
